Hi,

You are correct.
Blind pension is funded from real estate taxes.

Rik Combs is seeking the Libertarian Party nomination for governor of
Missouri in 2020. He wants to eliminate personal property taxes on cars,
boats, farm equipment, etc. Though he is not likely to win since third party
candidates have a difficult time winning elections, he is circulating a
petition to put the question of eliminating personal property taxes to the
voters in November of 2020.

According to this article, an analysis of the petition says that this would
reduce the Blind Pension fund by 18%.

I always thought that the Blind Pension was funded only by taxes on real
estate taxes, not personal property taxes too.

Regards

Daniel Garcia, Corresponding Secretary
