Committee against new royals stadium taxes
Why Vote No?
We, the collective voices of Kansas City Royals & Chiefs fans, business owners, senior citizens, working poor, artists, unhoused, and concerned taxpayers spanning across Jackson County, stand united in opposition to the proposed new sales tax aimed at constructing a new Royals stadium.
Our solidarity knows no bounds as we vehemently advocate for a NO vote on Question 1 on April 2nd. We refuse to yield to coercion and intimidation; our resolve remains unshakable.
The rich legacy of Ewing Kauffman, along with the cherished Kauffman Stadium, must not fall victim to the profit-seeking agendas of billionaires at the expense of hardworking individuals in Jackson County.
Our community has endured excessive taxation and neglect for too long. We categorically reject the notion of shouldering an additional burden of $2 billion through sales taxes, over the next 40 years, for a stadium project that neither reflects our desires nor addresses our needs.
The incessant drain of property taxes has left us depleted, and we refuse to tolerate further exploitation.
This is not merely a battle against unjust taxation; it is a crusade for fairness and the preservation of our heritage.
Together, we pledge to safeguard the integrity of our historic landmarks and demand equitable taxation from the Jackson County government, the City of Kansas City, and the State of Missouri.
We call upon every resident of Jackson County to join us in this pivotal fight for our rights and the soul of our community.
Let us send a resounding message on April 2nd, asserting our collective power and determination to uphold principles of fairness and historic preservation.
Join us as we rally against inequity and advocate for a brighter, more just future for every resident of Jackson County. #SaveTheK #HonortheKauffmanLegacy
