K.C. split on stadium tax
A telephone poll of "frequent voters" in Missouri's Jackson County found that a slim majority, 51-45%, favors a 0.375% sales tax hike to pay for $450 million in renovations to the Chiefs' and Royals' stadiums. (Since the poll's margin of error was 5%, it's actually a statistical dead heat.) Other poll findings include that 57% of respondents said taxpayers are responsible for maintaining the stadiums - apparently people in Jackson County can read the newspaper - but according to the Kansas City Star, the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, which commissioned the poll, "declined to release the entire survey," saying only the half the results it released were "important."
