7. So I saw this on Ballotpedia...

https://ballotpedia.org/Missouri_Amendment_4,_Allow_Legislature_to_Require_a_City_to_Increase_Funding_without_State_Reimbursement_for_a_Police_Force_Established_by_State_Board_Measure_(August_2024)

Lot of stuff to plow through. Showing my ignorance--Do you know how Ballotpedia leans? Don't know anything about it. Anyway as you get farther down in the information you see that It was two Republicans that pushed it originally in the State Senate and House. Only a handful of Dems supported it in the house and senate. The Kansas City Star and the Democratic Kansas City Mayor opposed it. The mayor was the one that sued to have the Missouri Supreme Court overturn it. Or at least that is my skim reading of it. Let me know what you think. I really need help on both of these issues. I'll check Ballotpedia for the other amendment, too. I've got a headache now, and going to go lie down for a while! I'll try to post later. Thanks again for your help!
