The group leading the effort to add sports betting to the Missouri Constitution is preparing to turn in 300-thousand signatures to the Secretary of State’s office.

The proposal would tax sports betting at 10 percent. Cardetti says he thinks that would generate between 40 and 50 million dollars annually for Missouri’s K-through-12 schools.
