Whether a tax that would help fund a new downtown Royals stadium and renovations to the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium goes before voters this spring will “come down to a Monday meeting of the Jackson County Legislature.” As of Friday, legislators “had the numbers to sustain the latest veto ” from County Exec Frank White Jr. that would “keep the stadiums tax off the ballot for now and give the county more time to negotiate and formalize deals with both teams.” There is still time before tomorrow afternoon for Jackson County to “broker a deal with the Chiefs and Royals” that would “shift things enough for the legislature to override the veto and put the stadium sales tax to a public vote” on April 2 ( K.C. STAR, 1/19 ).
