Black chamber opposes stadium tax

The Black Chamber of Commerce of Greater Kansas City Inc. on Friday called for voters to reject a sales tax that would finance renovations to Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums.

In a written statement, the chamber's board faulted the stadium proposal because it relies on sales tax for the renovations, saying, "... we would have preferred a higher contribution to the renovation projects from the teams, which could have reduced the overall tax impact on moderate and low-income families."

wow.... they are usually in the old skool democratically controlled JAX Cty back pocket. great news.

Don't equate this weak organization to Freedon, Inc.

They are just mad because the pro-stadium people wouldn't line their pockets with excess funds to campaign with.
