Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson expects a proposal for a Royals ballpark in the state at the next Legislative Coordinating Council meeting.
Masterson chairs the LCC. It has set an end of the year calendar
date for the team on whether they’re planning to move to the Sunflower State.
“I am anticipating being presented with a proposal from the Department of Commerce and the team either at my late November or early December LCC Meeting,” Masterson continued. “That’s what I’m expecting.”
The Missouri Secretary of State has prepared a ballot summary for a voter initiative that could repeal subsidies for sports teams.
A ballot summary prepared by Hoskins’ office for a pair of proposed initiative petitions seeking to repeal the stadium funding law declares that voter approval could “likely cause the Kansas City Chiefs to move their stadium from Missouri to Kansas.”
There is no mention of the Royals, an omission that sparked a flurry of questions — and criticism.
Does Hoskins have some reason to believe the Royals have already decided to leave the state or have no intention of using the stadium tax incentives?
Or, as critics allege, is Hoskins hoping to sink the measure by making predictions about the future plans of the Chiefs, who — unlike the Royals — have a statewide fanbase, three recent championships, and a star player in Patrick Mahomes who is the face of the sport?
