Nov. 6 is Election Day in Missouri and every voter will have the opportunity to make a choice on two proposed constitutional amendments. The first concerns water pollution bonds and the second concerns roads and highways. The voters in the past have considered 75 amendments to our state’s Constitution. They have adopted 48 and rejected the others. Two rejected last year attracted more votes than the political candidates, something which had never before happened.
