Missouri voters reject riverboat gambling amendment
Missouri voters narrowly defeated Amendment 3 that would have allowed slot machines on river boats. The loss leaves riverboat operators limited to skill games and raises questions about revenue for education. Some counties approved docking for boats, while most counties rejected. Supporters may pursue another vote in August or November.

Taxpayers Fund Menendez Murder Retrial Fee Agreement
Taxpayers will cover Erik Menendez's legal costs with a $125,000 payment to his lawyer, half of the requested fee. Judge Cecil Mills called it a bargain as Erik and Lyle Menendez face retrial for the August 1989 Beverly Hills home murder of Jose and Kitty Menendez. The defense had sought up to $250,000 plus $100 per hour, but the court reduced the amount under the contract terms.

Johnson County voters approve school bonds
Johnson County voters approve large bond issues for two districts and reject others. Shawnee Mission's 140 million bond funds renovations and air conditioning for 50 plus buildings, while Olathe's 58.8 million bond will build three elementary schools and a junior high and renovate many campuses. Renwick voters reject consolidation and centralization plans, ending a highly divisive campaign about combining high schools and building a stadium.
