in the Chiefs moving next door<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cSTAR bonds will be something ultimately the Kansas voters decide… I\u2019m ready to take a lot of the blame, but I do think that this is one of the more substantial tools that exists in America, and I believe this is the largest public tax incentive given to any sports franchise in America thus far.\u201d<\/p>\n
When pushed further, Lucas shared that such a tax incentive could prove a significant long-term impact on Kansans.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe long-term budget, particularly if you are redirecting existing taxpayer dollars and sales taxes \u2014 Wyandotte County, for example, already heavily taxed,\u201d the mayor said. \u201cHopefully, you see these [projects last] additional generations, but it\u2019s obviously risky.\u201d<\/p>\n
The mayor said a fair criticism of the Chiefs\u2019 negotiations in Missouri was having to maintain contact with Jackson County, the City of Kansas City and the State of Missouri, while with Kansas, the Chiefs funneled much of their communication to the lieutenant governor.<\/p>\n
Lucas said \u201creal engagement\u201d continues robustly with the Royals, \u201cwho now, of course, become the \u2018belle of the ball\u2019 and have the opportunity to negotiate further.\u201d<\/p>\n
The mayor continued to be optimistic about the Royals settling on a downtown stadium for their next home.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been a lot of hits in the last few days in Kansas City…there have been big incentive packages to attract some employers across the line. That includes the Kansas City Chiefs,\u201d Lucas said. \u201cBut we have an exceptional new soccer stadium on the riverfront, a billion-dollar development there, a half-billion-dollar development downtown. To me, the real story is about the ongoing growth of our region, and I hope that train keeps running.\u201d<\/p>\n
