The Missouri Gaming Commission has released its report for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. Your careful observer will be spending a few days updating his statistical tables while at the same time researching material for a speech at the Missouri River Regional Library on October 8th that will celebrate the 250 anniversary of the document that created this nation (no, it wasn’t the Declaration of Independence but I will be referring to two words in the Declaration as well as some words spoken in Washington four score and seven years after the upcoming anniversary).
But when we return to the topic, we will show you why Amendment 2 not only represents a mugging of our public education system, but how it also deepens the decades of the casino industry’s mugging of our veterans nursing home program.
Feel free to circulate these observations to friends, education groups, local newspapers, veterans groups, and your state legislators and/or candidates. And don’t be afraid to react in the box at the end of our entries. We enjoy hearing from our participants in these public dialogues.
