Wrap: If approved by voters, the Missouri lottery would have to sell a veterans lottery ticket along with regular lottery tickets.
The proceeds from the sale of lottery tickets would go toward funding veterans homes, cemeteries, and outreach programs.
Republican Representative Sheila Solon says this lottery ticket would be a way to thank veterans.

| Description: "We need to take care of our veterans because they have done so much for us, for our country, and for our state. And this is the least that we can do for them to make sure that we fund out veterans homes, our veteran's cemeteries, and our outreach programs." | |
Opponents say the proposal takes money away from education.

Wrap: Democratic Representative Jeremy LaFaver expressed opposition to a proposed constitutional amendment that would create a veterans lottery ticket.
The ticket's revenues would go toward funding veterans homes, cemeteries, and outreach programs.
LaFaver tried to explain bill sponsor Representative Sheila Solon's position, but he advocated getting the money another way.

| Description: Her point is we need more money for veterans homes. Great. Let's advocate for it in the budget. Let's advocate for it through an efficient revenue stream. Let's do that without taking from education. | |
