Wake Up, Missouri!
One of the goals of the Tax Justice for a Healthy Missouri campaign is to EDUCATE the public, and our state legislators, about our tax system and how to improve it so it will produce the revenue needed for vital services to Missouri's citizens in an equitable way.
Simple, informative "flyers" were distributed to every state legislator for several weeks, beginning February 7, 2005. The flyers present FACTS ABOUT MISSOURI'S TAX SYSTEM YOU SHOULD KNOW.
These are messages the legislators received. They provide good information for everyone.
