Comparing the airport to the stadium vote isn't accurate.
There were obvious problems with MCI. So far, the issues with the new terminal haven't demonstrated a clear downgrade in the old ones. No, you can't roll up to security thirty minutes before boarding and be assured of making your flight. But it's not close to the level of Denver's lag time between arriving, checking in, TSA harassment and getting to your gate. There hasn't been a clear structural problem with Kauffman like old MCI. It's replacement with a downtown facility is a negative for people who like the ability to park their and walk into the stadium in < 15 minutes. Strike one, so to speak. Second, it's a money grab for ownership in shrinking the capacity per game while maximizing new luxury boxes *AND* the real estate speculation of owning county-paid development of mixed use residential / commercial development. The airport, in spite of its touted upgraded amenities, serves a wider public good of facilitating air travel. Strike two. |

It's a lot less likely the Chiefs leave the metro vs Royals.
The one downside to the Chiefs relocating to Kansas is that they'll probably rename the team in order to take advantage of a total rebrand for the political points it would score and maximizing new merchandise sales. |

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. |

Isn't there a hotel tax up there? Seems like my hotel bills always come out a lot more when I stay in the KC area.
