Keeping K C teams important locally
Lawrence leaders and business figures urge passage of stadium renovation measures to keep the Royals and Chiefs influence in the area. They say the plan boosts Lawrence commerce and regional economy, while opponents warn against public funding for sports facilities. A failed sales tax could trigger default on the Jackson County lease and teams seeking new homes.

Tallgrass preserve gains $1 million gift and lease move
