flag Missouri proposes boosting tax credits for food pantry donors to 70% to combat rising food insecurity.

flag Missouri lawmakers are proposing to expand tax credits for food pantry donors, increasing the credit from 50% to 70% and doubling the state’s credit pool to $3.5 million amid rising food costs and declining donations. flag The bill, introduced by Republican lawmakers Phil Amato and Jamie Burger, aims to address limitations caused by a current credit cap. flag Advocates say the change would help sustain food distribution as demand grows. flag However, concerns remain about long-term viability if Missouri moves to eliminate its income tax, a goal set by Governor Mike Kehoe. flag With income taxes making up over 60% of state revenue and a report warning of potential budget shortfalls by 2028, the bill’s fate may hinge on the governor’s upcoming budget plan.
