US EditionKehoe Puts KC Stadiums, MU Research Reactor Back on Table with Special Session
- Governor Mike Kehoe announced a special legislative session beginning June 2 in Jefferson City to address stadium funding, disaster relief, and a new MU research reactor.
- The session follows a turbulent regular 2025 session, with unfinished major funding bills and growing bipartisan resistance to stadium subsidies for the Chiefs and Royals.
- Kehoe's agenda includes $25 million for planning a 20-megawatt research reactor at MU, $25 million for disaster housing relief, and a plan allowing stadium bonding tied to current tax revenues.
- Kehoe highlighted the Chiefs' $575 million yearly contribution to the state's economy and emphasized that Missouri should regard the teams as key employers to prevent them from moving to Kansas.
- The session aims to support economic development and disaster victims, but high partisan tensions and objections to costly stadium funding could complicate legislative approval.
