Sports betting on the agenda as Missouri lawmakers head back to work

Sports betting is on the agenda as Missouri lawmakers head back to work. The bill would place a 10 percent tax on gross receipts from each sports bet. Video lottery terminals would be taxed at 36 percent. It would also give $5 million each year toward gambling addiction programs. Kansas' first two weeks of opening the sports betting doors brought in more than 2.4 million bets.

Missouri lawmakers are preparing bills that would allow parents to send their kids outside of their local public school district and to pay more for private education. The MOScholars program is funded by donations and provides scholarships to students. It is currently capped at $25 million.
