Proposition A, the Schools First Initiative on the November 4th state ballot, provides additional funding for Missouri schools – and protects local jobs and our economy – by increasing the state tax that casinos pay and updating Missouri's casino regulations.
YES ON PROP A...
Provides over $100 million per year in new revenues to elementary and secondary schools statewide – without increasing local property taxes.
Creates a secure fund for education and requires annual state audits to ensure that casino taxes are only used for schools.
Protects thousands of local jobs and keeps revenues here by eliminating Missouri's outdated "$500 loss limit" regulations, so Missouri can compete equally with neighboring states for casino visitors.
Generates millions in new funds for early childhood education, college scholarships, veterans' services, and other state and local services funded by the $2 per visitor excursion fee that casinos pay.
