ST. CHARLES COUNTY BALLOT ISSUES

• Question 1: Amends the St. Charles County Charter in four ways;

1. The county would give written notice to other municipal governments that they will be included in the master plan if they want.
2. The county would have to post ordinances that include a penalty for violation on the County's website and in six public places instead of having to post it in a local newspaper.
3. A technical amendment that clarifies the length of time for bills to be presented to the County Executive, and requires a veto override vote to be taken within 30 days of veto.
4. The County Executive would have to submit a proposed budget to the County Council by Nov. 5 or the first working day after Nov. 5 each year. 

• Question 2: This would allow the County Executive to appoint someone to fill a vacancy on the County Council who is a member of the same political party as the person who left, subject to approval by the council. The appointee would serve until the next general election.

• Question 3: This amendment would give the County Executive oversight of the working conditions of employees in the county, as well as the ability to investigate harassment and discrimination.

• Question 4:  This amendment would prohibit officers and employees of the county from accepting a service or thing of value from someone who has dealings with the county.

• County Proposition A: This would amend the charter to require a council member to forfeit his office if he is physically absent from 12 consecutive meetings of the council unless excused. 

• County Charter Question Law Enforcement: This would establish a County Police Department and make the Sheriff's Department in charge of only court services, security and prisoner transport. Read more here.

State issues

STATEWIDE BALLOT ISSUES

• Proposition A, which if passed, would put the City of St. Louis Police Department under local control.

• Constitutional Amendment 3, would reform the judicial selection process in Missouri at the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals level. Proponents of the amendment have abandoned their campaign for the measure, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported, citing bias in the ballot language approved by Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan.

• Proposition B, would increase tobacco taxes $0.0365 per cigarette and 25% of the manufacturer's invoice price for roll-your-own tobacco and 15% for other tobacco products, according to the ballot language. Estimated revenues of at least $283 million would fund public education in Missouri along with smoking prevention programs.

• Proposition E would prohibit the Governor or any state agency, from establishing or operating state-based health insurance exchanges unless authorized by a vote of the people or by the legislature.
