🚧 Accidents

🚨 Crime
The Better Business Bureau warned Missourians on Dec 1 that sports betting scams are on the rise+ it advised citizens to stay alert as Missouri’s legal sports betting market expands.
🌲 Environment
After every Kansas City Chiefs game, thousands of reusable cups are taken six miles to a facility in Independence — where they are washed, dried, and repackaged to keep waste out of local landfills.
CEO Jocelyn Quarrell said nearly 60,000 cups have been processed so far and the program will help eliminate many single-use items in the future.
🏈 Sports
Sports betting launched across Missouri on Monday morning — fans can now wager legally at casinos and via mobile apps, while counselors urge setting limits as a new law allocates $5 million to help prevent compulsive gambling.
