KC Tenants Declare Opposition Against Royals Downtown Stadium

Sorry to be skeptical but . . .

KC Tenants are a sketchy group funded by dark money. 

We don't get our hopes up for their advocacy because a great deal of their antics are nothing more than political theater and this MIGHT be just another ruse that will offer an endorsement at the last minute.

Still . . .

If we take them at their word (we don't)  . . . This could represent a growing coalition against Downtown development . . . Check-it:

"A key player in local politics since its formation in 2019, KC Tenants issued its statement in opposition to the stadiums tax on Monday morning, six days after the Royals announced the East Crossroads as their choice for construction of a $1 billion stadium and adjacent development.

"KC Tenants is the first organized group to make public its opposition, but it will not be the last. A campaign committee is being formed to represent a diversity of interests, including businesses that would be displaced by a Royals stadium in the Crossroads area, sports fans who want to save Kauffman Stadium and taxpayers angry about rising property assessments."
