Signatures are being gathered around the state for measures that will be put on the November ballot, according to an article in today's St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Among those measures: A proposal that would permit taxpayer money to go to private schools in the form of vouchers, a measure that would permit all embryonic stem cell research, and a proposal that would restore the Medicaid coverage that was eliminated last year.
Signatures are also being collected for a proposal to increase the state's minimum wage.

Randy, as a teacher of 35 years and now retired, I am not for vouchers as I find it hard to believe every one is capable to teach when the state requires certain qualifications to instruct children. I know there are parents maybe more qualified than I but there are many many more that are not. Most home-schooled children are those that a parent wants to protect from the public school as there are many things other than subject matter they learn in apublic school but I feel children so sheltered are like a wild animal raised in a protected environment and then when they are grown they are put back in the wilds to try to survive.
