Missouri parks tax won every county in 2016. Backers worry about crowded primary this year

Missouri's one-tenth cent sales tax for parks and soil/water conservation is up for a 10-year renewal on August 4, 2020. The tax, which passed in every county in 2016 with 80% support, faces concerns over opposition campaigns and voter confusion due to multiple ballot measures, including Amendment 5, which could alter sales tax policies. Backers worry low primary turnout and anti-tax sentiment may impact its chances.
