They had a chance to get the Bass Pro Shop in the middle of the mall. Bass Pro had all the designs in place. Turn the mall and surrounding area into a nature santuary but they wanted tax increment financing. The city of KC said sorry but we can't afford it. We need the revenue from the project to pay for other stuff in KC. So what happens? Bass Pro goes out to Independence and spends millions. Was anyone really surprised?
