Kansas City’s city council just approved a $600 million tax-free bond deal to fund a massive new Royals baseball stadium, despite voters rejecting a similar plan just two years ago. The project promises $1.14 billion in combined city and state revenue, but the Royals are on the hook for $760 million — with the city bearing the risk of any bond shortfalls. Critics, including Councilmember Melissa Robinson, argue the deal favors the team over residents, while nearby neighbors and workers’ advocates warn this move ignores public will and could harm local communities.
