"We now have an opportunity to do this and we need to have this taxed as the casinos are taxed," Rep. Lyle Rowland, R- Cedarcreek, said when speaking in opposition of the bill. Rowland went further into the state's budget when he said that Missouri has "completely underfunded" education.
"We have casinos in the state of Missouri that are paying taxes toward education and we're giving a corporate carve-out to this particular special interest group and they're not having to pay the taxes for education," said Lyle Rowland, R-Cedarcreek.
