Jackson County rejects ballot question [Video]

The Jackson County Legislature has voted against placing a Chiefs-only stadium sales tax on the November ballot.The ballot question would have called for a 20-year extension of the sales tax, reduced to one-quarter of a cent. The tax would have aimed to keep the Chiefs in Jackson County for 20 years.Because Missouri’s ballot certification deadline is Tuesday, it is highly unlikely the measure will appear on the November ballot. The vote was 5-4.The rejection concludes weeks of debate and discussion about the possibility of a new election in Jackson County.State, city funding possible to keep teams in MissouriMissouri Gov. Mike Parson has said multiple times this summer that his office is continuing to work on a public aid deal for the Chiefs and/or the Kansas City Royals.I think by the end of this year, were going to have something in place to propose for the stadiums, Parson said this summer.Parson has spoken with leaders in both Jackson County and Clay County about the teams. Clay County has been mentioned as a potential location for the Royals.Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said he expects the teams to announce their decisions later this fall.”We’re looking at weeks, not months, to get some idea of the next step, and ultimately, everyone can perhaps relax on the stadium discussion,” Lucas told KMBC earlier in August. “Because I think they’ll be staying home.”Following Monday’s vote by the Jackson County Legislature, Lucas again expressed confidence both teams would remain in Kansas City, Missouri: The city and Royals are reportedly exploring a new site for a baseball stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.Kansas Legislature approved STAR bonds proposalAfter Jackson County voters rejected a ballot question in April, Kansas leaders quickly pitched their own proposal. In June, Kansas lawmakers overwhelmingly approved a STAR bonds package that could lead to stadiums for both teams being constructed on the Kansas side.The bonds would cover up to 70 percent of a stadium project worth at least $1 billion. The language in the bill indicates that both teams have a year to accept the offer from Kansas.
