Royals Ballpark Vote Battle Heats Up | Kansas City News

Kansas City’s City Council just greenlit a $600 million chunk for the new Royals ballpark — but a powerful grassroots group is pushing back, demanding a public vote on using taxpayer cash. Their petition could force future funding steps to go before voters as early as April if ignored. Critics say the council rushed this deal to dodge accountability, especially with schools and housing in dire need. While some council members raised red flags over lack of financial analysis, the Mayor insists the petition’s deadline didn’t sway their decision. The stadium’s future now hinges on whether Kansas City voters will ultimately say yes or no. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
