How will YOU vote on the Stadium issue? - Page 4

Sig Kauffman · 10-10-2004, 01:34 PM

Shall a retail sales tax of one-fourth (1/4) of one cent be levied and collected in Kansas and
Missouri metropolitan Culture District (“Bistate Metropolitan District”) consisting of Johnson
County, Kansas and Jackson County, Missouri, and such other counties which are or may
become part of the Bistate Metropolitan District and which authorize this tax to be levied
(each a “Participating County”), including the counties of Clay and Platte in Missouri and
Wyandotte in Kansas?

I can't vote in it, but if I could i'd vote yes.

I don't live in kc but my brother does & he is voting yes mostly because of the arts that will be helped.

You don't have to be gay to realize that a decent arts scene is key for any healthy city.

ditto... Keitzman today saying that the concourse outside his seats was plenty wide enough. Boy he doesn't get out of that luxury suite very often does he. Yesterday was hell on the concourses.

Of course you don't, but it helps.

I was just curious.

BTW, what specific arts initiatives are going to be funded? I hope we don't end up with some more million dollar "sculptures" like those hideous things on top of Bartle Hall.

It wouldn't be as bad if people wouldn't congregate in the middle of the fucking concourse.

I'm changing my vote to yes, plus the arts really need it.

Randallflagg · 11-01-2004, 09:41 PM

As you can tell from my name, I have voted NO (early voting in Johnson County). Why? Simple. Both the Chiefs and the Royals have made literally millions off this city for years. Is it too much to ask that they pony up a larger share of the "investment?" Just my opinion....

Did you not think of the arts?

I don't have a problem with it, but I don't like how non specific they are about where the money will go. All I've ever heard anyone say is that it will go to "the arts". What the hell does that mean?

That being said, I've yet to talk to a person that has said they are voting for this thing. I think it's probably going down in flames. Prepare for the "Royals are leaving KC" talk to start soon after. I'll throw a shit fit the first time someone brings it up with the Chiefs though. If there has ever been a team that didn't have a case for picking up and leaving, it's KC.

Absolutely! The Arts Center is going to be built regardless! Kaufman is putting something like $150 million to build it. So, as a working musician, yes! I did consider the arts. I have been waiting for an arts center in Kansas City for as long as I could remember and am glad that it is going to be built. Look...I would be all for it if the teams themselves were contributing more of their own money.

This reminds me of the original Bi State (Union Station). I was completely in favor of every aspect of it until it came to the "Science City" deal. My Brother lives in Louisville and they tried the same thing. Put a boatload of money into their Science City only to watch it go "belly up" a few years later....

Now, before you go ballistic on me...I am a season ticket holder for both the Royal and the Chiefs and love them both. That doesn't make what is being planned here necessarily the "right" thing....again, only my opinion.
