Johnson County never pays their fair share for anything. Look at the metro: Airport is in Platte County, NASCAR in Wyandotte County. Casinos and Worlds of Fun in Clay County. Stadiums, arenas, art museums, historical sites all in Jackson County.
What does Johnson County contribute? Private golf courses, gated communities and tax dodgers.
If you want a downtown stadium, I suggest you first move to Jackson County and then put your money where your mouth is.

I've spent the majority of my life living in Missouri. I directly contributed to the re-gentrification of Kansas City when I built a condo on 29th and Cherry. My wife and kids are at Worlds of Fun right this second. I have no problem saying that I have paid more in Jackson County sales taxes than the average Jackson County resident has in the past several years.
I love Kansas City despite the fact that it has absolutely zero ability to use forward thinking. I spend my money at Royals games, at Power and Light, the Plaza, etc. My sales tax dollars go towards the renovation just the same as yours do.
