Kansas City Still Silent On World Cup Costs

Two things . . . 

I don't remember getting to vote or even politicos answer any questions about this massive effort to welcome the World Cup to Kansas City. 

More importantly . . . 

WHO WILL PAY FOR ALL OF THESE WORLD CUP IMPROVEMENTS??? HINT: BROKE-ASS KANSAS CITY TAXPAYERS!!!

For all the cheap talk we hear about equitable housing and local priorities like infrastructure or even bike lanes . . . Both Jackson County & Kansas City will likely have to kick-in MILLIONS to make the World Cup a reality. 

And so . . .

In the midst of the deadliest crime wave in Kansas City history . . . Local elected officials will spend MILLIONS to welcome international soccer.

Here's another highlighted example of the waste . . .

"The World Cup puts Kansas City on a map it's never been on before," Mark Donovan, Chiefs President, said. "It is an international event that, it's gonna be amazing when people see it. And we're excited to be a part of it."

"We've mapped out a plan where we can actually do some of the work, put seats back in, take the seats back out, play the games, at the end of the games, put the seats back in," Donovan said. "Our goal at this point is to make sure that every single seat is replaced for every single season, so not losing a single seat for football."

There are still questions about who will pay for the upgrades, but the Chiefs said they are meeting with FIFA to finalize plans and the renovation process.
