BREAKING: Sinquefield drops another $750,000 on anti E-tax campaign: "
On Friday, Missouri Ethics Commission reports show.
His total contribution to Let Voters Decide: $1.75 million.
Petitions to force a vote on changes in Missouris earnings tax law are due May 2.
A statement from Marc Ellinger of the committee:
'Some politicians, bureaucrats and big corporate and union interests want to prevent a public vote on local earnings taxes. And, they have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a paid harassment effort to try to block voters from signing our petitions.
'But thanks to the strong voter support we’re receiving, we are confident that we’ll have more than enough signatures to qualify the Let Voters Decide Initiative for the November 2010 state ballot. And, thanks to the continuing financial support from retired Missouri philanthropist Rex Sinquefield, we’ll keep moving forward with our campaign to pass the initiative.'
