One of The Kansas City STAR's columnists left standing has an excellent piece this Wednesday morning regarding Mayor Funkhouser's opinion on K.C.'s taxpayer subsidies to the Royals and Chiefs.
What I want to know is:
Did Mr. Hendricks attempt to call Royals owner David Glass or Chief's owner Hunt to see what their take on elimination of the City's subsidies to their millionaire playpens was?
I doubt neither one is willing to chip in another dime to help out the citizens of the city they do business in.
Hell- the Royals announce on commercials that "Opening Day is sold out"- but somehow tickets for the opener appear if you buy a multi-game ticket package.
How about Jackson County/KC-MO residents who haven't been able to buy an Opening Day ticket yet?
The concept of stadium subsidies simply comes down to the fact whether the City is interested in continuing basic city services at current levels or cutting those services to provide these million/billionaire team owners more jack to field crappy entertainment- raising ticket prices in the process.
Do you understand that City Councilpeople? Mayor Funkhouser seems to....
