Judge orders amendment to bring casino to Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks to go before voters

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A proposal to bring a casino to the Missouri tourist destination of the Lake of the Ozarks will be on the November ballot. Cole County Circuit Judge Daniel Green on Friday ruled that the casino campaign gathered enough voter signatures for the measure to go before voters. The Secretary of State’s office previously found that the campaign came up short on signatures. Missouri’s constitution only allows casinos on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. The ballot measure seeks authorization for one casino on the Osage River, which feeds into the Lake of the Ozarks.
