ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. - A new legal battle is brewing over recreational marijuana in Missouri. The issue is tax "stacking." County leaders in the St. Louis area want to stack the 3% local sales taxes that voters approved last week.Berkeley voters approved a 3% marijuana sales tax, as did voters countywide in St. Louis County.

He entered in the bottom of the eighth, after the A’s had scored three runs in the top of the inning to take a 7-4 advantage.That meant reliever Jeurys Familia — who pitched the bottom of the seventh and was in the game when Oakland took the lead for good — could have been the pitcher of record. But the official scorer chose not to give Familia the win because he was deemed to have had a short, ineffective outing.Familia came on with one out in the seventh, a man on first and Oakland up 4-2. After a passed ball, pinch-hitter Cedric Mullins rolled an RBI single to right, and after a groundout moved Mullins to second, Adley Rutschman hit an...
