Jackson County Ballot Proposes Taxes for Truman Sports Complex
Voters will face two questions on April 4. A 3/8 percent county sales tax would fund improvements to the Truman Sports Complex to retain the Chiefs at Arrowhead and the Royals at Kauffman Stadium through 2031. A local use tax would help construct a rolling roof and support a new Chiefs stadium, with ties to the regional tax rate and voter approval. The measure faces mixed local opinions about economic impact and proximity to Lawrence, with residents noting limited direct effects and potential benefits to regional growth.
