  • Gov.-elect Mike Kehoe has started rolling out his picks to lead state agencies. Many are familiar names who served under Gov. Mike Parson.

The article from The Kansas City Star discusses the ongoing debate over the future of the Kansas City Royals' stadium. The team's lease at Kauffman Stadium, part of the Truman Sports Complex, is set to expire in 2031. Key points include the Royals' exploration of new stadium locations, with downtown Kansas City being a favored site due to its potential for economic development and urban revitalization. However, there's significant contention regarding public funding for a new stadium, with local leaders and fans divided on whether taxpayer money should be used for this purpose.

Additionally, it touches on the historical context of previous stadium funding debates and the broader implications for the city's development.
