(MISSOURINET) – A variety of Missouri bills offered this year would have cut taxes, including one to eliminate a sales tax on some grocery foods and another to fix a vehicle tax increase.

Governor Mike Parson’s call for a special session next month to cut income taxes does not include these efforts.

Fellow Republicans, State Representative Mary Elizabeth Coleman and House Speaker Pro Tem John Wiemann (wee-mun), sponsored the proposals.
