(The Center Square) – Jackson County Executive Frank White, a member of the
Kansas City Royals Hall of Fame, vetoed an ordinance placing a 40-year sales tax
on the April ballot to support a new major league baseball stadium and renovate
the football stadium.

“This proposed sales tax would generate over $2 billion from our residents, yet
there is no clear understanding or assurance regarding the teams’ commitments
and contributions to the county,” White said in a statement announcing his
action on Thursday. “It’s not a good deal for taxpayers and I cannot support an
agreement that is not in their best interest.”



After weeks of meetings and negotiations, the Jackson County legislature voted
8-1 in December to approve placing the extension on the sales tax on the April 2
ballot. It proposed a 3/8 cents sales tax beginning in 2031 and continuing for
40 years. In 2006, a 25-year sales tax of the same amount was approved by voters
for improvements to the Harry S Truman Sports Complex, where both stadiums are
located.

Earlier this month, Major League Baseball’s Kansas City Royals and the National
Football League’s Chiefs distributed a joint statement announcing their
commitment to stay in Jackson County if voters approved the sales tax in April.

County legislative Chair Jeanie Lauer, Vice Chair Megan Marshall, and
member-at-large Jalen Anderson issued a joint statement supporting White,
stating their intention to sustain his veto and emphasizing the need for more
negotiations.



“It is striking to note that the proposed financial commitment to these teams
significantly surpasses the combined annual budget allocated for all our parks,
playgrounds, trails, roads and bridges,” according to the joint statement.

Manny Abarca, a member of the Jackson County legislature, posted on X, the
platform formerly known as Twitter, “it sounds as if the eight votes who
supported Jackson County voters deciding in April is changing. Six votes must
override a veto, and I would be in support of letting voters decide what should
happen …”

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas previously stated that keeping the professional
sports teams in Kansas City and continuing to attract international sports and
entertainment were priorities. He didn’t immediately post a response to the veto
on social media as he was attending the national mayors’ conference in
Washington, D.C., and appeared on stage Thursday with Vice President Kamala
Harris discussing gun violence.

“We are not just retaining sports teams,” White said. “We are opening doors to a
future where sports investment translates into community prosperity, economic
growth and an enhanced quality of life. I am committed to working
collaboratively to find a solution that honors our longstanding partnerships
while upholding our responsibility to the taxpayers of Jackson County.”



The joint statement from the legislators identified six unresolved issues,
including a commitment by the teams to keep front offices, training facilities
and essential operations in Jackson County and the teams paying for demolition
of stadiums.
