Amendment 1 Supporters Raise Almost $12 Million

By AP/KWMU

Jefferson City, MO – New campaign reports show the interests that support a casino near Branson have now raised almost $12 million to get their message out.

That's opposed to the group that opposes the casino, called Show Me You Care, which has raised just $1.4 million.

Missourians next week will decide whether the state's constitution should be changed to allow for a casino in Rockaway Beach. Right now the constitution only allows for gaming on the Missouri or Mississippi River.
