Missouri's ballot has Proposition A, which would increase cigarette taxes by 55 cents.

Oh no, that's where you're wrong.
It would increase it by an extra 20% (excise tax) and THEN add another 55 cents on top of that.
Or, depending on how it's written, add 55 cents and THEN another 20% on top of that.
I know, I've been fighting this for the better part of six months now.

Since we are talking about MO, I was hoping you would come along! :)

Thanks for the info.

Guess I'll have to get out the calculator and figure out the new, "combined" tax revenue.
But, that's why I buy bulk tobacco and roll my own.
