  2. Missouri voters will decide whether to start a fund that could one day replace every state tax, the episode says.
  3. A Tax Foundation panel described that proposal as a first-in-a-nation state wealth tax; valuation and constitutional questions were left unresolved.

Roughly 40 tax measures are on November ballots in 17 states, according to a Tax Foundation podcast episode published Oct. 7. The proposals range from higher taxes on top earners to constitutional locks on low rates, the foundation says.

Missouri voters will decide whether to start a fund that could one day replace every state tax, the episode says. Property tax relief and new rules for how taxes get passed are also on the list, according to Senior Policy Analyst Janelle Fritts, who discussed the measures with Kyle Hulehan and Erica York.

This publication reported in September on a California billionaire-tax measure headed to November ballots. A Tax Foundation panel described that proposal as a first-in-a-nation state wealth tax; valuation and constitutional questions were left unresolved.
