The lawsuit was filed in July by Sen. Mike Moon, an Ash Grove Republican, Rep. Bryant Wolfin, a St. Genevieve Republican and conservative activist Ron Calzone, who argue that the law is unconstitutional and should be struck down.
Limbaugh did not rule on the merits of the lawsuit on Friday, but the case could have broader implications on Missouri’s efforts to keep the Royals inside state lines. The law, approved by state lawmakers last summer, served as Missouri’s bid to prevent the Royals and Kansas City Chiefs from moving to Kansas.
Moon, the lead plaintiff in the case, told The Star after the hearing that he supported the Royals remaining in Missouri, but that decision should not be left up to the state’s taxpayers.
“I think it’s great for the state to have them,” said Moon, who voted against the law in the Senate. “But it’s a choice that they need to make and it’s not up to the legislature to give public money to a private entity in order to tease them to stay here.”
