(KFVS) - A group of organizations and individuals led by the American Cancer Society have filed a proposition on tobacco taxes to provide funding for public education, higher education and public health in Missouri.

The coalition sponsoring the measure is made up of medical and public health professionals, education groups, business leaders and community leaders.

“We are pleased this measure has potential to help school districts deal with the funding problems they face,” says Missouri School Boards’ Association Executive Director Dr. Carter Ward. “This proposition presents the voters of Missouri the opportunity to voice their opinion on this issue.”

The group says Missouri has the lowest cigarette tax of all states in the nation, and very high smoking and other tobacco product use rates. They say the measure filed.

Investigators have a message for Heartland hunters this weekend, be on the lookout for anything suspicious.

It's the latest step in the search for missing mother of three Jacque Waller.

Waller's been missing since June 1.

There have been a number of searches for her, but so far no one's found her.

So with bow hunting season in full swing police and volunteers are asking hunters to pay close attention while in the woods.

"I'd like them to look out for signs of things out of the ordinary that don't make sense, like a shallow grave with dirt off to the side, said Robert Sherrill, a friend of Jacque Waller. "Those are things we look for when we're out."

Three and a half months after her disappearance, search crews refuse to give up hope of finding missing mom Jacque Waller.

Clay Waller's attorney, Assistant Federal Public Defender Scott Tilsen, says he is considering to appeal the order of detention to keep Waller behind bars without bond.

A judge ordered Waller to be held without bond Thursday pending trial of the federal charge of Internet threatening.

Judge Lewis M. Blanton issued an order of detention citing that Waller would be a potential danger to the community if released on bond and a risk for not appearing in court.

The order was established due to the court finding credible testimony and evidence submitted at the detention hearing, Ferrell said.

Tilsen says he needs to talk with is client first, but is looking at an appeals as the possible next step.
