The debate about expansion has been lengthy, but a News-Leader series examining the impact found:

"Do you want to amend the Missouri Constitution to:

State government entities are estimated to have one-time costs of approximately $6.4 million and an unknown annual net fiscal impact by 2026 ranging from increased costs of at least $200 million to savings of $1 billion. Local governments expect costs to decrease by an unknown amount."

City of Springfield Question 1

Voters in the city of Springfield will also consider their own ballot initiative, which would require short-term lending establishments, such as payday or car title lenders, to pay an annual registration fee of $5,000.

The proposal,which city voters will see on the Aug. 4 ballot,was approved in May by City Council along with a bill requiring lenders toadvertise interest rates, disclose how long it will take people to pay off a loan and provide clear explanations about the agreement the borrower is signing.

The fee is intended to make sure lenders comply with city requirements, and the money will be used to provide alternatives to short-term lenders, help people get out of debt and educate the community about the reality of taking out a payday or car title loan.

Voters who support imposing the fee should vote "Yes," and those who don't should vote "No."The ballot language is as follows:

"Shall the City of Springfield, Missouri, be authorized to impose a fee for a Short-Term Loan Establishment permit in the amount of $5,000 annually, new or renewal, or $2,500 for a permit issued with less than 6 months remaining in the calendar year?"

Polling places citywide are open from 6 a.m. to 7p.m. Tuesday.
