Welcome to a special episode of Empower Missouri's "Under the Dome" podcast, where hosts Sarah Owsley, Lucas Caldwell-McMillan, and Mallory Rusch delve into the upcoming election and its implications for Missouri.
The episode covers several critical amendments, including the Sports Gambling Amendment, which proposes legalized sports betting with potential tax benefits for education. The discussion highlights concerns over gambling addiction and financial implications for vulnerable families. The conversation then shifts to Amendment 3, addressing abortion laws, and the misinformation surrounding it, emphasizing the importance of accurate voter information.
Listeners are guided through other key amendments, such as the Lake of the Ozark Casino proposal, Empower's campaign to defeat Amendment 6 related to funding law enforcement pensions through traffic ticket fees, and Amendment 7, which tackles ranked choice voting. The team also highlights their support for Proposition A, advocating for a minimum wage increase and sick leave, and its potential impact on Missouri workers.
The episode concludes with a discussion on local ballot issues in St. Louis and Kansas City, insights into voting for judges, and the importance of making a voting plan. Empower Missouri encourages voter participation and provides resources for nonprofits to support voter engagement.
