And then aggressively prosecute the offenders. Like that will ever happen.

Max, NO! Imagine if they had these cameras during COVID! Seriously, think about that. These cameras aren't for criminals, they're to make criminals.

No

Vern, dude, it's not about the plates. Its about the information gathered about you, as a non criminal. That data WILL be used against you in so many ways to make you a criminal. Its no different than a 4473. Its a trap bro.

My status of course is to question the validity of yours. So far so good. Thanks for verifying.

No Democrat here. Just an evaluation of your comment stating that license plate are illegal.

Vern, stop thinking like a democrat. You're better than that. The inability to have an abstract thought is truly making me question your status. Please, are you joking about this?

So having license plates on your vehicle makes you a criminal?

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....

Income tax is unconstitutional when all other taxes are placed on top of it.

It's time to position Missouri for growth. We need to attract business and population growth not more stagnation. Taxes need to be affordable based on what people can pay, not what government wants to spend. Government needs to budget just like families.

I am in favor of a state income tax cap of 3 percent and eliminating the personal property tax completely.

The harder that people work, the more taxes they pay. That's wrong. The people that won't work should pay the most taxes.

We need to streamline government, make it more efficient and have lower taxes to attract more residents as well as businesses to the state.

This is the #1 tax cut that will help Grow Missouri. Eliminating State Income Tax will attract Business, Create Jobs and increase our population. This also exclusively benefits Missourians.

Ban state employees from attending professional and college sports events. Also ban state employees from displaying college/university personalized license plates on their vehicles.

If phasing out taxes, phases out Socialism, then it's a great idea.

We eliminated capital gains tax last year and now our target is income tax? I feel we should get more productive spending and figure out the position of our tax burden before we think about eliminating income tax. It feels like Gov. Kehoe is using this as political points.

We all need to be paying our fair share. There are other questionable taxes to be looked into and removed. Along with tax cuts, cuts to the bureaucracy as well.

The tax we need to eliminate or change is personal property tax on vehicles, tractors, trailers, etc. There should be no taxes paid on anything an individual has owned longer than ten years.

Sales taxes are paid by the poor. Income taxes favor the poor. Unless a refund of sales taxes is an option, income taxes are cheaper for low income people. And a sales tax refund is probably just as complex as filing income taxes. Either way the government is getting our money.

Missouri barely pays for WIC, SNAP, Healthcare, and education as is. The Trump Admin passed a bill that will cancel more funding to states for these. Who's going to replace the main source of revenue? The billionaire class? Absolutely not. Our state only offers cheap living; this will raise prices.
