Kansas City Council Odd Couple Demand Public Vote On Royals Stadium Scheme

Quickie context regarding strange political bedfellows when it comes to 600 MILLION BUCKS for a billionaire baseball team owner. 

6th District Council Dude is an avowed leftist who seyz he's Latino, Native, Black and maybe Chinese and is also known for wearing a pro-Palestine pin in order to raise the blood pressure of Brookside homeowners. 

Meanwhile . . .

1st District Council Dude Nathan Willett is running for Congress, trying to out Trump his talkshow opponent and loves to display SUPER-SIZE AMERICAN FLAGS at his campaign rallies because he either got a deal from the Perkins on North Oak OR has never seen the movie Patton and realized it's actually scathing critique. 

Nevertheless . . .

EPIC taxpayer subsidy has united these polar opposite council dudes in calling for a public vote on baseball big bucks . . . And supporters of this plan should notice how quickly coalitions are forming across partisan lines. 

Here's a cowtown quotable duet . . .  

For Kansas City Councilman Johnathan Duncan, the city’s plan to offer the Kansas City Royals $600 million for a new stadium was rushed and orchestrated “behind closed doors.” He wants to force a public vote on it.

“I believe that our government should be transparent and I believe that public dollars should go to public good,” Duncan, who represents southwestern Kansas City, he said. “I think that, for a decision like that, that should go to the will of the people.”

Meanwhile on the other side of the aisle . . . 

Northland conservative Nathan Willett recently noted . . .  

"Any proposal should be approved by the taxpayers of Kansas City. In the meantime, I will make sure the details of the proposal do not harm police & fire budgets."
