Legalized Gambling was first put to a vote here in Missouri on the premise that it would increase State Operating funds, lowering taxes. It was defeated. So, they tried again the next year, except this time ALL the money earned from Gambling would go directly to the schools. No exceptions. It passed. Only thing is, it wasn't on the ballot that all the money had to go to education, so as soon as it was passed, the backpedaling began. Now, I don't really give a shit about Gambling, if you're dumb enough to lay 500 out and lose it, that's your problem, not mine, but if I had to do it again, I'd vote no again.
