Kansas City Chamber & Civic Council Support Stadium Sales Tax Deal

Tonight at TKC we conclude with a statement from Kansas City power players on the fate of an embattled Jackson County stadium tax deal.

For those who don't know . . . 

This coalition led by the Greater KC Chamber & The Civic Council represents the final word in local biz leadership. There is nobody else "bigger" in this cowtown and these interests have defined Kansas City politics throughout the modern era.
