Many are hopeful for some resolution in the KC stadium debate by June 30, the widely reported deadline for the KS STAR Bonds proposal to the @Royals and @Chiefs. However, this clause we found in that KS bill could extend that deadline by weeks or months: @kmbc #ksleg #moleg

As expected, @GovMikeKehoe makes it official today by signing legislation finalizing the state’s pitch to keep the @Chiefs and @Royals in Missouri. Lobbyists from both teams told lawmakers they intend to make a decision before the KS STAR Bonds proposal expires on June 30.
