Should Missouri ballot initiatives to amend the state constitution require a 60% majority approval by voters as opposed to the current simple majority?

Do you agree with the Cape Girardeau Public School Board's decision to proceed with Phase I of an indoor athletic complex? Phase I is expected to cost about $2.6 million. Phase II is estimated to cost an additional $2 million.
