If Proposition A is passed…
1. No other cities besides the two that now have an earnings tax will be allowed to have earnings taxes.
2. The two (KC and St. Louis) will have to put their tax up to voter approval every 5 years.
Analysis and Opinion …
1. It will pass
2. The earnings tax will probably be renewed in Kansas City, but will face a much tougher fight in St. Louis. The main money source in the effort to pass Prop A comes from a St. Louis Billionaire and he will probably focus his efforts in the second election only on his own back yard.
A yes vote makes sense if you work in Kansas City and do not feel you are getting your moneys worth by using their services.
A no vote makes sense to not put at risk Raytown’s neighbor on 3 sides. The quality of Kansas City’s streets and police directly effect out lives. Criminals do not seem to respect city limit signs
