It's especially true for the Royals and Chiefs because they can move across state lines and use that as leverage. The teams move and it will cost Missouri and Jackson County quite a bit of tax revenue from fans, visitors, and of course players who pay tax on every game played in KC. Maybe it will be another project, but they will have to make up the tax revenue somehow.

This.
But the No voters will have their momentary victory of not voting for a “tax increase”… even though today’s vote is not “increasing” taxes, rather just continuing the existing 3/8-cent sales tax.
And ironically their motivation to supposedly avoid increasing taxes with a No vote today, will lead to increased taxes in the long run.
Self-fulfilling prophecy.
