I promise you, it's not about the tax. Nobody cares about a 3/8th cent tax.
It was 100% about the half-baked, ridiculous downtown baseball stadium plan that literally had nothing else in detail other than here's where we want to put it, now let us just do whatever we want. There were lots of promises, but they refused to put anything detailed in writing.
It was a bad plan. It was extortion. 'Give me what I want, or else'.
But The teams are funded through the end of the decade, and there was no reason to rush this through. It's a stupid plan.
Chiefs must really want the divorce to try to give them cover like this.
But neither team is going anywhere, not for years-and need not go anywhere at all.
Nobody wants that. The Royals need to get a better plan together. The Chiefs need to separate themselves from the doomed MLB franchise.
Sherman bungled this, badly.
