Don't Fumble Our Funds, Oppose Stadium Subsidies
Stand Up for Taxpayers, Not Subsidizing Billion Dollar Sports Teams
Kansas residents are struggling to make ends meet, and yet
it’s not stopping the elected officials from pushing for $2 billion in tax subsidies
to pay for a new stadium and entertainment district. Study after study from
Stanford University to University of Michigan and economists on all sides of the political spectrum have concluded that sports stadiums
do not generate enough revenue to pay for themselves.
With soaring gas prices and mounting inflation for all Kansans,
we believe that’s where the focus of legislators should be, not with sports
stadiums. Please sign this petition if you believe that legislators should vote
NO to expanding the already failed STAR bond program to fund sports stadiums.
