Chris and Amy talk with Dr. Beth Vonnahme about Amendment 2, which aims to legalize sports gambling in Missouri. Dr. Vonnahme explains that while some funds may go to education, estimates range from $0 to $28 million—small compared to the $9 billion education budget.

The discussion emphasizes that the decision should center on the legality of sports betting, as neighboring states have already legalized it. Dr. Vonnahme highlights potential economic benefits, including tax revenue and job creation, while also addressing concerns about gambling addiction.

She notes that Missouri's tax structure might limit revenue to $15-30 million annually. With legislative support growing, Dr. Vonnahme believes the amendment will likely pass based on polling data.
