US EditionGov. Kehoe to Announce Details Regarding Missouri Special Session
- Governor Mike Kehoe announced a special session in Jefferson City, Missouri, starting June 2 to discuss tornado aid and incentives for sports teams.
- The session follows a deadly March tornado in St. Louis and comes after the Legislature failed to approve state bond funding to keep the Chiefs and Royals in Missouri.
- The session will consider a package including bonds covering up to half the stadium costs and tax credits, aiming to prevent the teams from relocating to Kansas, where bonds cover up to 70%.
- John Sherman, the owner of the Royals, has indicated that the team will no longer use Kauffman Stadium after the 2030 season, a decision that comes after Jackson County voters rejected a sales tax proposal intended to fund stadium-related developments.
- The session's outcome could affect multi-billion-dollar stadium upgrades, tornado relief efforts, and projects like Missouri's NextGen reactor, reflecting legislative and political tensions.
