Mellinger Minutes: Jorts, why should you go to the ballpark, and when can we start gambling? | The Kansas City Star

Common sense took a significant victory at the Supreme Court on Monday, and now we await to see if the same can be said in Missouri and Kansas.

Judging by the political news in both states over the years ... maybe?

If you've driven through a pothole, or read about the funding crisis in Kansas public schools, or weighed the charm of so many neighborhoods on the east side of State Line Road against the cost of private schools then you know both states are some combination of mismanaged and underfunded.

This, then, is like an inheritance from a rich uncle you never knew: the Supreme Court essentially legalizing sports gambling for all 50 states.
