It appears that he believes so.

Today:

Missouri’s Governor Is Opposed to Out-Of-State Funding, but Not for His Own Ballot Measure
Gov. Mike Kehoe says “out-of-state special interests” are influencing citizen-led efforts to amend the state constitution. His own ballot measure, a push to eliminate the state income tax, has received $1.9M from a mysterious Delaware nonprofit.

[….]

…A political action committee supporting Amendment 5, Missouri Promise PAC, has received $1.9 million from a nonprofit with almost the same name — Missouri Promise Inc. — that was incorporated late last year in Delaware. Neither the nonprofit nor the PAC discloses the identities or locations of the donors financing the campaign.

Yep:

C264249 05/11/2026 Missouri Promise PAC Missouri Promise Inc. 701 Market Street Suite 110 St Louis MO 63101 5/7/2026 $16,000.00

C264249 05/28/2026 Missouri Promise PAC Missouri Promise Inc. 701 Market Street Suite 110 St Louis MO 63101 5/27/2026 $1,900,000.00

[emphasis added]

A new PAC, in May:

“…Gov. Mike Kehoe says ‘out-of-state special interests’ are influencing citizen-led efforts to amend the state constitution. His own ballot measure, a push to eliminate the state income tax, has received $1.9M from a mysterious Delaware nonprofit.”

Oh, the humanity!

“Mike Kehoe is Trump’s Bitch”

This appears so, too.

No on Amendment 5 (HJR 173).
