Thoughts on RJ Reynolds Tobacco donating over $2.6 million yesterday FOR the 60 cent tax increase on cigarettes, Amendment 3?? Supporting a tax to tax their own product? Why?

And smaller tobacco organizations donating $160k this week to support the 23 cent increase, the opposing prop A? Why?

And why does the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Lung Association in Missouri and Tobacco Free Missouri, and Retired Educators, all OPPOSE Amendment 3???

     Isn't there some anti-competitive stuff in there - TigerJackSwartz MU - 10/27 09:16:31
          yes, there is. It imposes a fee on the tobacco companies - KCT-BoneTiger A - 10/27 09:17:49
               Both measures are flawed - MrBlueSky MU - 10/27 09:38:38
