An effort to bring a locally owned and operated casino to Lake of the Ozarks takes another step to officially being put on the November ballot for voters statewide to approve or shoot down.
Tuesday was the deadline for all 114 counties in Missouri to submit petitions with verified signatures to get the measure on the ballot.
In Miller County alone, that consisted of the county clerk’s office verifying 800 pages of signatures before sending them weeks ago to the Secretary of State’s Office for final verification.
Representatives for the Osage Gaming group, several months ago, confirmed to KRMS News that the 173,000 required signatures from around the state was apparently not a problem.
