Citizen Support For State Parks
Is A Model For The Nation
Year in and year out, the Missouri system of State Parks and Historic Sites is a model for the nation and has never been rated out of the top three state park systems in the past 20 years. The Missouri system is supported almost entirely by a one-tenth-of-one-cent state sales tax -- support that has been re-affirmed by a two-to-one voter margin every time it comes up for renewal. Currently, this sales tax will continue to provide for state parks and soil conservation until 2018. Find out how this dedicated funding has impacted your parks and our state.
