Once again there's not much progress in the fight to keep the Chiefs & Royals in Jackson County.
Moreover . . .
Exec Frank White now dominates the Legislature and successfully works to keep any of future efforts tied up in committee.
Here's the word . . .
Monday, the Jackson County Legislature voted 8-1 to stop working on a proposal to ask voters to approve a 1/8th-cent sales tax for 25 years.
Leaders estimated the tax wouldve generated about $400 million for the football team to renovate GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
The team announced it was exploring leaving its home of more than 50 years in April when voters rejected a similar sales tax question to fund stadium projects for the Chiefs and Kansas City Royals.
The county legislature is still debating a separate ordinance to put a different sales tax proposal before voters in November.
