The future of the Royals and Chiefs in Kansas City was thrown into question Tuesday when residents of Jackson County voted down a sales tax measure that would have helped to fund a new downtown ballpark along with major renovations to Arrowhead Stadium.

How dare voters not want to pay 75 basis points on every purchase for decades to fund private enterprise!

Good for them. Wealthy owners should be paying for stadiums, not extorting taxpayers.
