I heard Belize was nice, I could do that.

I mean, you can hate her for being a bitch, but a lot of us have been saying this ever since the votes were tallied.

Downtown KC is the only correct answer. Both sides need to get over themselves, act professionally, and get it done. It will help greatly if Frank White is recalled, between the property taxes and the Stadium process, he has proven to be as talented as the night manager of a Minit Mart

No one ever needs to hear from the “spouse”. That’s just not a good look.

But with that said, I think Jackson County made a lot of mistakes in this process.

Jackson County just ran off two of few remaining community assets they had.

Bitch all you want, but the people spoke loud and clear

When KC Tenants and 65 year old white guys afraid of downtowns come together for the greater good

Your post might have a little credibility if Sherman hadn't committed to forking over $1 billion for the new stadium...not exactly on the street corner with a tin cup

He and his ownership group want to finance a bil in order to get, what, probably $800M plus in public revenue. Great ROI on someone else’s money.

Do you even capitalism, bro??

Yes I do, bro, and like you say a "great ROI". Yay capitalism! If KCians vioted down every public-private partnership project, donwtown woulld stilll be a ghost town, our airport would still be on par with Dwight D. Eiesenhower airport, and both the Chiefs and Rs would have already left because they couldn't make improvements decades ago when it was originally passed. I guess it all depends on what kind of city you want to live in.

Do you even work, bro?

Those are legit projects.

Stadiums are an economic ripoff for cities. The plutocrats behind stadium scams vastly inflate revenue projections and intentionally understate annual maintenance costs.

But ignore empirical evidence like a dumb ****ing sheep if that helps you sleep at night.

Oh, and I have a finance degree and worked in the industry prior to grad school.

Didn't see the full text of her comments in the OP article. The indictment of Frank White hits pretty hard. I actually somewhat empathize with her frustration. Frank White is petty as ****, and has a massive conflict of interest with this whole process. He is like a super villain now, obtaining public office to use government as a weapon against his former employer. Sounds like Lucas was in there dicking around as well with the plans. I think the Royals misplayed this, but some of that I think is them trying to navigate a very difficult group of KC leaders.

Oof.

This message went out on purpose. The teams are playing the victim role while belittling leadership and the voters. It doesn't look good for the headline to read "teams file divorce from loving fans, will remarry highest bidder".

Ok' Marny spells the whole thing out.. The Royals were always leaving K, they leveraged the chiefs success to get a deal that the city leadership does not like and didn't want to go to vote. I'm guessing Marny is right now in the back of her jet, headed to a game and then dinner in someone's 100th floor penthouse suite. It must be embarrassing to have to drive guests through KCMO for a game.

Parking and free refills are the issues that move voters in the 816.
