The BIG PICTURE is TYING TOGETHER the Midwest by means of Passenger Service. From Chicago to St. Louis, Springfield, Joplin, Tulsa, Dallas and other cities all along the line. Needed commerce, investment and jobs will come to the downtown areas of towns and cities along the line in Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Be it resolved by the people of the State of Missouri that the Constitution be amended: Section 30 of article IV of the Constitution of Missouri is amended by adding Section 30(D). The new section includes the following underlined language: Monies collected from a one tenth of one percent sales tax will be used for the purpose of developing Rail Passenger Service in Missouri including from St. Louis to Rolla, Springfield, Aurora, Billings, Marionville, Republic, Crane, Galena, Reeds Spring, Hollister and Branson. (This will allow connection of the Chicago Rail Passenger Line to Tulsa and other cities in Texas). A one tenth of one percent sales tax upon or measured by fuel used for propelling motor vehicles (automobiles, trailers, motorcycles, mopeds), is to be levied and collected as provided by law.
