💨 Abstract

Missouri lawmakers will convene a special session to discuss relief for tornado victims and financial incentives to retain the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, preventing their potential move to Kansas. Governor Mike Kehoe called for this session, emphasizing the urgency after Kansas approved significant funding for new stadiums. The teams' current leases expire in 2031, and Missouri is racing to secure their future within the state, stressing economic and community benefits despite economist concerns about public stadium funding.
