Weldon Spring Republican's resolution would let Missourians vote on eliminating personal property taxes

Sen. Bill Eigel, R-Weldon Spring, has filed Senate Joint Resolution 44, which would place his proposal, a constitutional amendment to eliminate personal property tax on the ballot.

"I want to cut your taxes," Eigel told those attending a rally for the proposal at the State Capitol, describing personal property taxes as the most unpopular taxes in Missouri.

"It primarily targets middle and working class households."

Eigel noted that only 21 states have personal property taxes and that Missouri has the third highest rate among those 21 states.
