The Dotte Sues Kansas Over Sketchy Chiefs Stadium Deal

The bigger question . . .

ARE WE WATCHING THE CONTROVERSIAL CHIEFS DEAL WITH KANSAS SLOWLY CRUMBLE!!!

 The down side to working behind the scenes and without any input from voters is that so many moving pieces tend to fall apart . . . Also, House Of Cards doesn't make any sense for taxpayers who might not want to finance Gracie's Instagram adventures without at least running it by the electorate.  

Here's the word . . . 

The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, filed a lawsuit Friday morning against the state of Kansas regarding the new Chiefs stadium.

House Bill 2466 does more than invite a stadium to Wyandotte County. For one project, in one community, it removes the local government's power to tax, to zone and plan, to set and collect local fees, and to provide utility service through the community's own publicly-owned utility."

Mayor Christal Watson shared a statement Friday regarding the litigation.

“Today, the Unified Government has pursued litigation against the State of Kansas to ensure a constitutional and equitable process for building the proposed stadium in Wyandotte County. If the State intends to embark on an economic development project of this magnitude, it must include the local citizens who work and live here. The current legislation does not give us a proper say in how this gets done and who will benefit. Until the situation is fair for all Wyandotte County residents, we will turn to the courts for a fair hearing and resolution of the matter.”
