Vote in this poll if you actually live in Jackson county.
We've all shared our opinions in the other thread. But who gives a shit what somebody in Platte County or Johnson County or Phoenix or NYC thinks. We're all just noise. [Reply]

You do realize today’s vote is just continuing the same 3/8-cent sales tax that those “billionaires” are already getting? [Reply]

Should we pay that tax till the end of time just because? [Reply]

Small markets dont have a choice. It is the world we live in. Also gives the community pride and solidarity. A sense of togetherness instead of divisiveness which the world needs more and more everyday. [Reply]

Specifically for sports... people who give no shits about sports already pay out the ass for cable/streaming due to sports, much less any taxes. [Reply]
It's ok Charger fans, we know you lost an NFL team and a 70,000 seat stadium, but here's the San Diego Loyal Soccer club and a 35K seat stadium in its place! [Reply]

You also seem to forget not everyone even gives a flying fuck about sports. [Reply]
And the hilarity of people not wanting to keep an existing 3/8-cent sales tax in place… only to watch the Chiefs/Royals leave Jackson County… and take with them the revenue they generate for the county.
Not to mention having major professional sports teams is what differentiates KC from the likes of Wichita, Des Moines, Omaha, Louisville, etc.
A strange hill to die on… all to avoid keeping the exact same 3/8-cent sales tax in place. [Reply]
If anyone cares Oklahoma City just had a vote like this to give the Thunder a new stadium, even though their current one was built only 20 years ago. The Thunder were basically saying we're gonna move if you dont pay for the entire thing. (Or 95%+) and the vote passed rather easily.
KC isnt NY or LA or Chicago or Dallas. The owners of the team around here can, should, and can ask for the world. It would really be bad business not to. [Reply]
