Jim Mathewson, the chairman of the Missouri Gaming Commission will step down Friday. Matthewson chose not to stay for a second three-year term in order to spend more time with his family.

During Mathewson’s tenure with the Gaming Commission, Missouri’s 13^th casino license was awarded to developers in Cape Girardeau and disassociated gamblers were provided a pathway to reinstatement. He says the main challenge now is raising enough revenue to help K-through-12 schools.
