Honorable Claire C. McCaskill
Missouri State Auditor
224 State Capitol Building
Jefferson City, MO 65101
Dear Auditor McCaskill:
You have submitted to us a fiscal note and fiscal note summary prepared pursuant to Section 116.175, RSMo, concerning a proposed constitutional amendment relating to compensation and retention of public officers. The fiscal note summary that you submitted is as follows:
The fiscal impact of this proposal is unknown, as it will depend on the amount of compensation proposed by the Citizens' Commission and the actions of the Governor and General Assembly on future budgets.
Pursuant to Section 116.175, we approve the legal content and form of the fiscal note summary. Since our review of the fiscal note summary is mandated by statute, no action 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.
Sincerely,
JEREMIAH W. (JAY) NIXON
Attorney General
