Today, Missouri’s Secretary of State announced that two of the four groups that submitted ballot measures received enough valid signatures on their petitions to be placed on the November 4 ballot.

Gambling loss limits and home health care unions — you made it!

Renewable energy proposals and eminent domain constitutional amendments — better luck next time.

The gambling loss limits proposal would repeal Missouri’s law that limits gambling losses to no more than $500 in a two-hour period. The Post-Dispatch paraphrased a spokesman for the group that sponsored the petition as saying that eliminating loss limits would “help Missouri casinos compete against those in neighboring states” and secure an estimated $100 million toward public schools. Show-Me Daily has covered this issue before. As for the home health care union proposal, annual costs are estimated to exceed $510,560.
