re: KC voters vote against tax extensions for stadium upgrades for Chiefs/Royals

This vote was more of a no to the Royals and not much to do with the Chiefs. The Royals plan kept changing where they wanted the new stadium to be. Then at the last minute they decided they wanted it downtown and a lot of people don't want it there. I think the Royals owner did this on purpose to sabotage the proposal and have an excuse to move the team. The Royals plan was so bad that former Royals legend Frank White who's now a politician in KC was very outspoken against it. If the Royals move F'm I don't care but the Chiefs still have years left on their lease and no way the state loses another NFL team. I don't have a problem with team owners making a lot of money but then they shouldn't have tax payers funding their stadiums. BTW the vote was...

Yes 56,606 41.9%
No 78,352 58.1%
