They run ads back to back, one saying (vote yes) it will help fund schools and increase teachers salaries (which is highly unlikely) Then the very next ad (vote no) saying it will provide Zero School funding??
I really don't care either way. It's already legal in KS and I don't gamble but we're so close to the State line I know several that take a short drive and place their bet. No different than KS peeps making that same short drive to buy MO weed.
What I do know is the Lottery was going to give schools so much money they would be fine, then MO passes riverboat casinos with the same crap, so much money to the schools won't need anymore school taxes. RIGHT - all Lies and here we are again.
I tried to research it a little and found this so my guess, yes it will pass and it will make ZERO difference in schools and next year they'll raise my taxes to support schools!
From the link below - From ZERO to ? WTF! I wonder why DraftKings and FanDuel kicked in millions for the the amendment passing?
Saying yes to Amendment 2 would allow license fees prescribed by the Missouri Gaming Commission, according to the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office. It would also provide a “10% wagering tax on revenues received to be appropriated for education after expenses incurred by the Commission and required funding of the Compulsive Gambling Prevention Fund.”
Because the proposal allows for deductions against sports gaming revenues, state governmental entities don’t know how much revenue they’ll make off the amendment. The ballot title goes on to say it could range “from$0 to $28.9 million annually.” Local government estimates are unknown as well.
