That said billionaire uses to make a larger profit...

That would be like if I used tax payers to subsidize a mansion, but only I used it for my needs and had a few gatherings here and there on my grounds.

You have severe issues with reading comprehension.

You are *so close* to getting it. Just think a little harder

If somebody is fired up enough to wear a shirt specifically about this election they will probably be willing to put a jacket over it while they vote.

Maybe? Seems really close but No has had a run of momentum lately. If I had to bet I would say it barely passes.

I need to become a used car salesman. There are a surprising number of people who accept the first offer.

If the stadium vote fails, we can keep the sales tax to pay off the ransom instead. Great job, Frank.

Yes, a city building that happens to include a private, luxurious, billionaire's suite that is comparable to a 3-story, 6-bedroom condo.

Enjoy getting taxed for "homeless outreach programs" instead!

I voted yes.

It is not a perfect solution...but a no vote opens the door to the Chiefs and Royals leaving...and not just leaving for Kansas or North Kansas City.

Those who vote no are okay with KC being another Des Moines, Omaha or Little Rock. While there is nothing wrong with those places, they are not Major League cities.

KC is the smallest market with both an NFL and MLB franchise. This is a fair deal for Jackson County--and give how corrupt the legislature is, does anyone really think they would not figure out a way to get that sales tax money another way and use it for something stupid?

This is the golden era of Chiefs football...and we can gurantee the Chiefs being here for another 40 yes without increasing taxes? Seems like a no brainer to me.

The Royals are putting in more money than any other team that has built a stadium in the last decade...but we need a better offer?

The Chiefs have won 3 championships in 5 years. Build a few more condos for them wherever the **** they want.
