Senator Hawley Probably Won't Be Helpful In Keeping Chiefs & Royals

His sentiments echo populist Internets chatter which deny a basic fact of life: 

Governments across the world engage in biz partnerships in order to promote job creation. In fact, like it or not, public/private collabs are one of the main drivers of American capitalism industry. 

However . . . 

A recent statement from the Senator echos the VALID concerns of tax weary residents who, tragically, don't realize that their JACKSON COUNTY TAXES ARE GOING UP EVEN MORE WITHOUT REVENUE FROM THE TEAMS. Sorry.

Here's the quote and more info . . . 

“I know (the Chiefs and Royals) want all manner of tax breaks and handouts, but listen, I think the voters have made clear they’re not going to (accept that),” Hawley told Missourinet. “They love these teams, (but) they’re not going to give them some special sweetheart deal, a whole bunch of taxpayer money that voters never get paid back.”

Hawley said he hopes the Royals and Chiefs will “honor what…Missourians” have done for them.

“These are proud Missouri teams, have been for decades. Nobody has done more for them than the people of the region,” he said. “That’s the reality here, and I just hope these teams will do the right thing.”

Hawley wants Chiefs and Royals to stay in Missouri without government 'handouts' - Missourinet

Missouri U.S. Senator Josh Hawley is weighing in on whether the Chiefs and Royals should stay in Missouri or move to Kansas.
