(MISSOURINET) – Following the Legislative Spring Break, lawmakers in the Missouri House could vote on a bill that proposes to legalize sports wagering. Comments from a Thursday press conference indicate that both Republicans and Democrats want to see it approved. However, House Minority Leader Crystal Quade was asked if the subject could turn into a proposed ballot measure…
Quade expresses frustration at the missed gambling revenue that could have filled Missouri’s coffers around the Super Bowl had it been previously approved in the Legislature.
