TODAY'S MISSOURI MEETUP FOR ROYALS & CHIEFS SEEM TO DOUBLE DOWN AFTER LOSING STADIUM SALES TAX EFFORTS IN 2024!!!

This time around the focus is on a better campaign and, probably, keeping plans out of the news so that voters can talk about money rather than downtown traffic. 

Here's the word . . . And very few concrete deets . . .

"As the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals explore new locations for a stadium, Missouri leaders want to ensure it stays on their side of the state line. A meeting between Missouri House and Senate leaders, the governor, Missouri Department of Economic Development, Jackson County legislators and a Kansas City Councilmember took place Wednesday morning. The group wants to come to a plan that will be agreeable to both taxpayers and the professional sports teams.

"The Kansas City Chiefs bring more than just championships to Missouri. The Chiefs estimate Missouri receives $28.8 million in tax revenue each year from their games.

"To keep the Chiefs and Royals in Missouri, leaders are discussing an extension of the 3/8th sales tax already in place. Jackson County voters turned down a similar proposal last year, but discussions Wednesday focused on improving that plan and ensuring it benefits taxpayers as much as the teams."
