密苏里州拒绝选民批准的青年心理健康销售税,并提出了法律问题。 Missouri county rejects voter-approved sales tax for youth mental health, citing legal concerns.

密苏里州普拉特县委员会一致投票反对实施上月56%的选民批准的四分之一的销售税, 以资助儿童心理健康服务。 The Platte County Commission in Missouri voted unanimously against implementing a quarter-cent sales tax approved by 56% of voters last month, intended to fund children's mental health services. 委员们对这项税的永久性和缺乏监督表示关切,相信国家法律赋予他们尽管得到选民批准仍拒绝投票措施的权力。 Commissioners cited concerns about the tax's permanence and lack of oversight, believing state law gives them the power to reject ballot measures despite voter approval. 该税本可每年为青年心理健康支助筹集约500万美元。 The tax would have raised around $5 million annually for youth mental health support.
