And the same arguments Mecca and Zach are making were also made here.

"We don't want to give money to billionaires".

You're focused on the wrong thing. Your tax money is going to billionaires regardless. This isn't about saving you tax money, fools. This is about which special project GETS your tax money.

You can bet your ass you will be paying that tax in something else.

In San Diego, politicians and non-sports fans aligned to lead the public to believe that the hotel tax that the Chargers wanted to fund the stadium was about billioniares.

That was a lie. It was about ANOTHER project those politicians wanted to fund. The Convention Center remodel.

In the end, San Diego said "No" to using that hotel tax to build a stadium. The Chargers left.

Later, the city approved a new hotel tax to fund the remodel of the Convention Center as they wanted to invest in keeping Comic-Con in town. New pedestrian bridges that no one wanted etc.

And you know what happened after that? Covid hit. And Comic-Con was basically canceled and reduced to a shell of its former self.

Take a ****ing history lesson, before you're doomed to repeat it.

Quit the bullshit, it's not about billionaires. It's about which special project you WILL eventually be paying for.

Huh. I wouldn't have thought that there would be any restrictions on what you could wear to the polls as a voter (though I obviously understand it for those working the polls). Can you not wear MAGA/Biden2024 stuff to vote in a presidential election? I've voted via mail for like 20 years, so I had no idea.

Seems preferable, considering it already costs more than it's worth to attend a Chiefs game in a 53-year-old stadium.

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.

Stop with the ruse.

More to it than that don't know the San Diego situation but this was rushed to the ballet with very little details and remember it has the Chiefs & Royals on it. This thing would fail easily if it were just the Royals on the ballot. The Royals were literally just throwing shit against the wall closer to the election because it wasn't looking good for this to pass. Neither of the teams are leaving if this particular vote fails what it will do is bring them back to the table and an actual plan will be hashed out. Blindly approving billions with a lack of a plan is a recipe for disaster.

You mentioned repeating history. Look into the Sprint Center/ P&L "We will get a team and it will pay for itself" boondoggle.

And Im glad they did PNL and the Sprint Center. It is one of the best projects KC has had. It puts Kansas City on the map. Downtown is light years better than it was in the 90s.
