(MISSOURINET) – Sports betting could be in the cards this legislative session in Missouri.

During a Senate committee hearing today, state Senator Barbara Washington of Kansas City questioned Anne Scharf with the Chiefs.
Kansas is trying to lure the Chiefs to the state – instead of staying at Arrowhead Stadium. Governor Mike Parson says he will fight to keep the Chiefs in Missouri.
