Show-Me Institute contributors and scholars have recently submitted a number of opinion pieces about the proposed Metro tax increase in Saint Louis County. This augments the writing we released previously about light rail in Kansas City. With both issues on the ballot Tuesday, if you live (or shop) in either place, please take some time to review the articles. For St. Louis, we have pieces arguing the measure is a good idea and a bad idea, another in which an intern looks at both sides, and one from an economist’s perspective. For Kansas City, we have some great detailed work by Randal O’Toole.

We were honored to have Wendell Cox agree to write a piece for us. His work is an inspiration to many people involved in think tanks around the world.
