Minnesota legislators try a Hail Mary on sports betting

With four days left in the legislative session, multiple tax and spending measures remain at a standstill

Minnesota state senators made a late-stage push Thursday to legalize sports betting, but the odds of a final deal are growing increasingly slim.

The Senate Finance Committee voted 5-4 to advance a bill expanding for-profit gambling in the state, but with just four days left in the 2022 session - and with work remaining on major tax and spending measures - key differences remain in sports betting proposals from the two legislative bodies.

The biggest sticking point? Whether Minnesotans should be allowed to place bets at racetracks.
