- As soon as thought a certain factor, probabilities of legalized Missouri sports activities betting this session are slim
- An modification to strip invoice of video lottery terminals is holding up its passage
- Missouri’s legislative session ends Could 13
Missouri not solely misplaced the sports activities betting border battle with Kansas, however it could lose the Missouri sports activities betting conflict altogether.
In March, the Missouri Home permitted a sports activities betting invoice that was anticipated to be barely altered and handed overwhelmingly by the Senate to legalize sports activities betting within the state. Nevertheless, after a last-minute modification was floated final week to strip to the invoice of 5,000 video lottery terminals (VLTs), Sen. Denny Hoskins (R-21) filibustered for almost three hours till the assembly was concluded.
Hoskins mentioned he’ll proceed to filibuster the invoice each time it comes up for dialogue if the modification stripping VLTs out of the laws is included.
VLTs or Nothing in Missouri
Missouri casinos are involved with the inclusion of VLTs within the invoice, because the video lottery gaming terminals could possibly be put in in fraternal golf equipment, social golf equipment, and truck stops. Sen. Mike Bernskoetter, (R-59) launched the modification through the April 27 Senate listening to that triggered the Hoskins’ filibuster.
Hoskins spoke on KCMO Speak Radio on Friday, April 29, and mentioned Missouri casinos want to understand they stand to make “a whole lot of thousands and thousands of {dollars}” on sports activities betting if it’s legalized within the state.
“I used to be prepared to compromise, to return down from a 21% tax charge right down to a ten% tax charge, however the casinos need the golden ticket. They don’t need small companies to make any cash. They don’t need fraternal veterans organizations to make any cash. They wish to preserve all of it for themselves. Hopefully cooler heads prevail and so they come to their senses and we will get one thing handed within the subsequent two weeks,” Hoskins mentioned.
“I by no means say by no means. Hopefully the casinos will come to their senses and we will get one thing handed.” @DLHoskins to @PeteMundo on the way forward for #SportsBetting in #MoLeg this session. FULL interview: https://t.co/eIFsTUB5az pic.twitter.com/WKqJHJVc3d

Ryan Beard is entering his second season as Missouri State’s head coach. His team will look to build off a 4-7 season while staying focused on this season despite being ineligible for the FCS Playoffs.

Missouri father uses a funeral to wean daughter off pacifier
![Missouri father uses a funeral to wean daughter off pacifier Missouri father uses a funeral to wean daughter off pacifier](https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/08/30/eb1dd335-54d7-4517-8d8b-d45122eb70c4/thumbnail/1200x630/32c8dea64d870fcc5a70195cc51b9cd9/1725061905469.png?v=25685eaa472b1a5dbb5bd46ae506d232)
The Bishop family of Festus, Missouri, can smile now, but a few months ago the mood was much more somber as Courtney, Jake and their 3-year-old daughter Hazel said goodbye to a very important member of the family: Hazel’s beloved pacifier.
“It’s not good for her teeth and her jaws and all of that, so we had been trying to wean her off of it for some time,” Jake, 35, said.
Hazel’s beloved pacifier, affectionately known as “Paci,” had been with her for years. Jake knew saying goodbye could come with tears and tantrums, so he searched for creative approaches to ease the transition. He considered options such as cutting off the end of the pacifier, soaking it in vinegar or planting it in a pot.
Instead, Jake chose to give Paci a funeral.
Of course, before the internet, parents used to just take the thing away and deal with the tantrum. But today, for better or worse, young parents like Jake would rather not go to war over a binky. They’re “pacy-fists,” if you will.
“You need them to go through some tough times to really grow as a person but you don’t need to make extra tough times for them,” Jake said. “They’ll have plenty of those coming up.”
Parents delight in making milestones, but those milestones are often bittersweet because each turning point is a point of no return.
“She’s transitioning to the next stage of her life,” Jake said of Hazel, their first child. “We just got to hold onto those moments and those memories, because it goes fast.”
Hazel hasn’t asked for Paci again since. Although, shortly after the ceremony, Jake dug it up and buried it again in a keepsake box, making dad the one who just can’t let go.
