Taxes dominate last gubernatorial debate. St. Louis Post-Dispatch endorses GOP candidate for Secretary of State. Minimum wage proposal price tag tossed off the ballot.
Taxes dominate last gubernatorial debate.
As it has in the past, the issue of taxes dominated the last debate of gubernatorial candidates. Republican Margaret Kelly acussed the incumbent governor of violating his campaign promise four years ago to submit an education tax increase to the state voters. Democrat Mel Carnahan charged Kelly with proposing a tax-cut package that was based on faulty math and that would force deep cuts in education. Secretary of State candidates trade charges. The GOP candidate for Secretary of State accused the Democratic incumbent of the same charges she's made against him.
