A sales tax that funds Missouri’s parks and soil and water conservation is back on the ballot this August. It's sharing the spotlight with eight other amendments, leaving advocates wondering if they can cut through the noise.
Missouri is one of only eight states in the country that offers free entry to its parks. That’s thanks to a more than 40-year-old sales tax. When the tax was on the ballot a decade ago, it passed with 80% approval, but now state park advocates worry about reaching voters in a crowded election. Trevor Grandin reports for KBIA.
