Sports betting could be coming to Missouri

Dan Houx, Missouri State Representative, joins the Mark Reardon Show to discuss the sports wagering bill currently making its way through the Missouri Legislature, and a few updates on other pending bills!

“We’ve been working for the past two years. Last year we got it out of the House and sent it to the Senate,” started Representative Houx.

He continued, “ We’re losing out on a lot of money. It’s not really the tax money, we’re concerned about that, but also the residual money. Where people drive to another state, they spend money there. It’s those tax dollars I want to get back to the state.”
