You Can Help
The successful renewal of the Missouri Parks, Soils and Water Sales Tax is critical to the funding of the parks, soil and water conservation programs it supports. It will be on the November 8, 2016, ballot as Constitutional Amendment #1, and we need your help!
Why does it matter?
Missouri’s parks, soils and clean water are important to our quality of life, our health and our economy. More than 19 million people visit our state parks and historic sites annually, providing more than $1 billion a year in economic impact and supporting 14,000 jobs.
What does it do?
The sales tax works to maintain our state park system and keep it free, to maintain and improve our water quality and to combat soil erosion.
How does it work?
Constitutional Amendment #1 is a smart investment. It simply renews an existing program that has successfully protected our parks, soils and water for more than 30 years — with no increase in taxes.
So, how can you help?
Get involved and help support the renewal of the Parks, Soils and Water Sales Tax on November 8! We welcome you to join us in educating Missourians on the importance of renewing the Missouri Parks, Soils and Water Sales Tax.
