Missouri House leader says Nixon playing politics on tax legislation
By: AP
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The Missouri House leader says Gov. Jay Nixon is
``playing politics'' with businesses and local governments by highlighting the
retroactive taxes that more than 120,000 people would owe if lawmakers override
one of his vetoes.
House Majority Leader Tim Jones says lawmakers have not decided whether to try
to override Nixon's veto of a bill allowing communities to resume levying taxes
on vehicle purchases.
Legislators passed the bill after the Missouri Supreme Court struck down the
authority of local governments to tax vehicles bought out of state or from
individuals unless the communities had adopted a ``use tax.''
Nixon warned lawmakers this week that a veto override could retroactively raise
taxes on 122,702 vehicles.
Jones says Missouri car dealerships are losing business and local governments
are losing revenues.
