Missouri Supreme Court declines to hear appeal over Amendment 5 ballot summary

The Missouri Supreme Court refused Monday to hear a last-minute appeal filed by proponents of a measure to repeal the state income tax seeking to revise the summary voters will see on the Aug. 4 ballot.

Acting on a request filed Sunday, the court declined to review changes made by the Western District Court of Appeals to the summary for the proposal that will appear on the ballot as Amendment 5.

The decision leaves in place the revised ballot language included in an appeals court opinion delivered Friday. Tuesday is the deadline under state law for revising ballot language for the primary election.

The Supreme Court did not give a reason for not taking the case.
