In a 5-4 vote, the legislature rejected a proposal to place a Chiefs-only sales tax measure on the November ballot.

The quarter-cent tax would go into effect in October 2031 — after the current 3/8th-cent sales tax ends. This tax would fund improvements for Arrowhead Stadium and the Truman Sports Complex and would not include Kauffman Stadium.

It was a compromise that 1st District Legislator Manny Abarca IV, who sponsored the measure, hoped would ease voters’ concerns about funding a new Royals ballpark.

Welcome to Kansas.
