Missouri state Sen. Rick Brattin stepped down as chair of the Missouri Freedom Caucus just days after voting in favor of a Kansas City stadium funding deal. The conservative group criticized the plan


The Missouri House Freedom Caucus is opposing a proposed sales tax increase intended to fund new stadiums for the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, arguing that it would unfairly burden taxpayers. The caucus, led by Rep. Tony Lovasco, is pushing for a special legislative session to address the issue, emphasizing that the financial burden should not fall on the public. They are also concerned about the lack of transparency in the negotiations between the teams and state officials.
