Vote in this poll if you actually live in Jackson county.
We've all shared our opinions in the other thread. But who gives a shit what somebody in Platte County or Johnson County or Phoenix or NYC thinks. We're all just noise. [Reply]

Somebody in this thread called out that Mike Kehoe said something about being interested in the state helping. [Reply]
Kehoe is a STL guy and I heard the Cardinals are asking for money for stadium upgrades as well. It will be interesting to see what happens- STL politics generally rule in Jeff City. [Reply]

1) FUCK St. Louis...
2) You are correct, but I also recall Kehoe being the only candidate willing to talk about how he wanted to keep the teams in MO. I don't think he can wave a wand and make it happen, but I do hope that if KS lures either team away that in all other respects Kehoe unilaterally withdraw from any "agreements" that the two states once had and say it's open season on KS. Put Topeka on notice that with our ridiculously deeper pockets that we will, as a state, make sure any business that stays in KS has to be doing it for political reasons because MO is going to make it financially better to move (or start up) to/in MO.
Fans would lose nothing IMO, I sure don't mind driving over there occasionally for a game, but I'm sure ready for MO to quit being nice and being the only one to respect the bullshit accord the two states have.
And if we lose the team/teams and he doesn't go to war economically with KS, he's a useless piece of shit. [Reply]
