IS ANYBODY REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE IDEA OF DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY BASEBALL AT EPIC PRICES?!?!
Didn't think so.
Instead . . .
We notice locals already passing this issue around like a hot potato.
Here's one more example . . .
Check Mayor Q passing the buck and getting VERY PERSONAL with his comments about the executive.
We've noted this trend before but it's nice to have another news outlet follow-up our TKC KICK-ASS blogging . . .
"If the county executive [Frank White] is uninterested in public funding in any way to support a stadium, I think it is worthwhile for him to just say that."
Lucas says that he'd like to hear answers about what acommunity benefits agreement with the Royals might look like, and how much the county could reasonably invest in a project of this nature.
But, he argues, White — a former Royals second baseman and the current Jackson County Executive — has not focused on that.
"Instead, what we are debating is what seems to be a bit of a personality issue between the Royals and a former Royal, and we're all caught between," Lucas said. "And, I don't think that this is something that is good for the people of Kansas City, this region more broadly, or as getting to some finality on this issue for the Royals."
