The Legislature expected to consider the stadium proposal during a special session set to convene Tuesday. The measure would allow the state to issue bonds to help the Chiefs and Major League Baseball 's Kansas City Royals finance new stadiums on the Kansas side of their metropolitan area, which is split by the border with Missouri .
Many lawmakers have argued that voters would be angry if the state helped finance new stadiums without cutting taxes. Kellyof the stadium-financing plan emerged in late April, but lawmakers didn't vote on it before adjourning. It would have allowed state bonds to finance all stadium construction costs, but the latest version caps the amount at 70%, and it says legislative leaders and the governor must sign off on any bonding plan.
Kelly told reporters Monday that she won't "invest a lot of energy” in a stadium plan, letting lawmakers lead. She and Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, a Republican, signed an agreementto end years of each state using subsidies to steal the other state's jobs in the Kansas City area, but Kelly argued that their truce doesn't apply to the Chiefs and Royals.
