NFL’s Kelce, Mahomes Urge Kansas City to Seal $2 Billion Subsidy
- Missouri county will hold vote on sales-tax for stadiums
- Opponents say the measure is a tax on the working class
“We need you,” declares Travis Kelce. “Let’s keep this rolling,” commands Patrick Mahomes.
What they want is for Kansas City voters to approve a tax that would raise as much as $2 billion of taxpayer money for two stadiums. The NFL stars made their appeal in an ad encouraging Jackson County, Missouri, residents to vote yes on an April 2 ballot measure to renew a sales tax for another 40 years.
