The second section of this week’s North Missourian is devoted exclusively to the complex Constitutional amendments and propositions that will be on the Nov. 6 General Election.
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
The 15-page official notice of the election published by the state is the longest that has ever been printed in this newspaper. A large section of the notice includes the official language about the controversial amendments and a proposition dealing with the legalization of medical marijuana.
Other issues in the election include Proposition D to raise the state’s gasoline tax to pay for highway maintenance, to increase the state’s minimum wage, to remove language on limiting bingo advertising, and to reduce the amount of gifts that lobbyists can provide state officials.
A series of articles focusing on these various amendments and propositions, presented by State Rep. J. Eggleston, have been published in this newspaper the past several weeks. This series continues with a look at “Amendment 3: The Minimum Wage” printed on page 2 in this edition.
