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]

Hopefully they eminent domain the Crossroads and slap that nice new ballpark there. Don’t give the tenants and the average sports hating citizen a chance to fuck it up this time.
I pray to gawd this type of stupidity is sarcasm... [Reply]

Absolutley not.
The Chiefs and Royals leaving the area would be devastating for KC.
The mayor’s job is to protect the best interests of the city. Hopefully he and the city are willing to do whatever it takes to keep those assets in KC. Even if it means overriding the will of the misguided public. [Reply]

It would be devastating for politicians and their ilk. [Reply]

Okay but that's not what this would be. A failed vote in Jackson County means nothing to KC other than the city government now has to take action when they were probably hoping not to. Question 1 was not put to a vote by KCMO voters, it was just Jackson County. KC may have a different range of options in it's bag. [Reply]

The tax wasn't the issue on the vote it will be paid anyway for 7 more years. The problem was with the ill-conceived planning. [Reply]
