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]

That said billionaire uses to make a larger profit...
That would be like if I used tax payers to subsidize a mansion, but only I used it for my needs and had a few gatherings here and there on my grounds. [Reply]

The “No” side is trying to rig the election by turning voters away who are wearing Chiefs/Royals apparel, even though that is perfectly allowed:
FYI, if you are voting today in JaxCo, you can wear a jersey, shirt or hat of the @Chiefs or @Royals, but you can NOT wear "Save the K" apparel or "vote yes/vote no" gear. Would be impermissible electioneering.
You'd have to take it off, turn it inside out or change to vote.

You are *so close* to getting it. Just think a little harder [Reply]

If somebody is fired up enough to wear a shirt specifically about this election they will probably be willing to put a jacket over it while they vote. [Reply]

Enjoy getting taxed for "homeless outreach programs" instead! [Reply]
It is not a perfect solution...but a no vote opens the door to the Chiefs and Royals leaving...and not just leaving for Kansas or North Kansas City.
Those who vote no are okay with KC being another Des Moines, Omaha or Little Rock. While there is nothing wrong with those places, they are not Major League cities.
KC is the smallest market with both an NFL and MLB franchise. This is a fair deal for Jackson County--and give how corrupt the legislature is, does anyone really think they would not figure out a way to get that sales tax money another way and use it for something stupid?
This is the golden era of Chiefs football...and we can gurantee the Chiefs being here for another 40 yes without increasing taxes? Seems like a no brainer to me. [Reply]

The Chiefs have won 3 championships in 5 years. Build a few more condos for them wherever the fuck they want. [Reply]
