Every pitch to the voters included emphasis on the fact that Johnson County residents would wind up paying for a large portion of the cost via cross state purchases. The rolling roof would have been primarily by out of state business purchases.

I spend plenty of money in Jackson County, and I owned a business there as well. In fact, if I were to guess, I would say that I've paid more in Jackson County sales tax than the average Jackson County resident since the measure passed.

You're no better than Keitzman. Talk shit about Jackson County, but you live in Johnson County. Keitzman even moved his radio station from Jackson County to Johnson County. And bully for you, you think you make more money than somebody that lives in Independence, or Lee's Summit, or Blue Springs. Got news for you pal, there's lots of money in Eastern Jackson County.

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.
