Opinion No. (2008)
|

Dear Auditor Montee:

This office received your letter of February 14, 2008, submitting a fiscal note and fiscal note summary prepared under Section 116.175, RSMo, for an initiative petition submitted by Troy Stremming (version 2). The fiscal note summary that you submitted is as follows:

State governmental entities will receive an estimated $105.1 to $130.0 million annually for elementary and secondary education, and $5.0 to $7.0 million annually for higher education, early childhood development, veterans, and other programs. Local governmental entities receiving gambling boat tax and fee revenues will receive an estimated $18.1 to $19.0 million annually.

Under Section 116.175, we approve the legal content and form of the fiscal note summary. Because our review of the fiscal note summary is mandated by statute, no action that we take with respect to such review should be construed as an endorsement of the petition or as the expression of any view regarding the objectives of its proponents.

Very truly yours,

JEREMIAH W. (JAY) NIXON

Attorney General
