Delegation to Missouri Senator Hoskins
February 11, 2022
iDEA’s lobbyist Scott Swain joined a meeting among all stakeholders – casinos, teams etc. That group sent a delegation to Senator Hoskins asking to keep the VLT issues and sports betting separate, and they have made that request with other Senators.
The leadership of the St. Louis Cardinals also approached him. Meetings on the topic are generally positive. Boyd Gaming remains a holdout, opposing the bill because of the OLD mandate.
