Description
Millionaire and retired investment banker Rex Sinquefield is currently in the process of single-handedly spear-heading the cause to end the one-percent earnings tax that provides about a third of St. Louis City's total revenue, or approximately the cost of running the entire St. Louis Police Department. Kansas City, the only other city in Missouri with an earnings tax, would also lose about the same amount. Limited media coverage has suggested that Sinquefield's successful gathering of 200,000 signatures in support of a state vote to remove the tax is good for democracy, while media outlets such as St. Louis Public Radio and the St. Louis Business Journal, have called Sinquefield himself a "philanthropist" and "benefactor."
