That's why I don't get why people think this will go back to Jackson County for a second vote - the plans weren't technically part of this vote, so it doesn't make sense they'd just do it again with different plans presented. The only thing that makes some sense is the idea of splitting out the Chiefs and Royals rather than lumping them together.

I don't get why outsiders think we should have simply handed over $2B of our tax dollars when you admit outright that they asked for this money without providing us any plans for how it was supposed to work.
That was a big part of the reason
why many people voted NO. The Royals did a very poor job of giving any kind of details about specifics. There basically weren't any. There was no community benefits agreement made. They simply wanted a blank check.
