LETTERS: AMENDMENT 6 WOULD AFFIRM MISSOURIANS' WISHES ON GAMBLING

To the editor:

The Nov. 8 election on Amendment 6 is all about overcoming a legal technicality in order for riverboat casinos in Missouri to proceed in accordance with the wishes of Missourians already expressed about two years ago.

By passing Amendment 6 and moving forward with riverboat gambling, Missouri's residents stand to gain educational opportunities, increased economic development, more business for the state's important tourism industry and jobs.
