////Missouri voters rejected major Republican priorities on Tuesday as proposals to eliminate the income tax and change the way initiative petition majorities are counted lost by large margins across the state. Amendment 4 lost 80% to 20%, while Amendment 5 fared worse, losing 83% to 16%. “Amendments 4 and 5 have been buried so deep in citizen rejection, they should never come back,” said Scott Charton, spokesman for the two Missouri Realtor-funded opposition groups, Missourians for Fair Governance and Missourians for Fair Taxation.One measure of the magnitude of the “no” vote is that it created a mirror image of the majority requirement Amendment 4 would have imposed on constitutional amendments proposed by initiative. Amendment 4 would have required amendments to achieve a majority in every congressional district in order to pass///////// a big defeat for republicans. Trump can't use tax payer to pay cop beaters
