JEFFERSON CITY (AP) -- An Illinois casino has contributed $150,000 to a group opposing a casino ballot initiative in Missouri. The group Voters for Good Government says it plans to use the money from the Casino Queen for an ad campaign asserting the Missouri ballot measure is misleading. Proposition A would repeal the state's $500 gamblers' loss limit, cap the number of casino licenses that can be issued and raise taxes on casinos. The new money it generates would go to public schools. Supporters have received more than $14 million from Ameristar and Pinnacle Entertainment, which operate casinos in Missouri but are based in Las Vegas.
