What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Kansas City Council committee advanced a plan that would require voters to approve future funding deals for stadiums and arenas. This ordinance applies to any arena seating 2,500 people or more and would require a public vote before the city funds such projects. The full City Council must vote on the measure before it can go to the ballot in April.
