Tax relief wasn't the only measure on the minds of Kansas lawmakers as the Special Session got into full swing yesterday. 

 Legislators passed a bipartisan bill to allow the state to issue bonds to cover of to 70% of the cost to build new stadiums for both the Chiefs and the Royals in an attempt to lure the Missouri teams across the border into Kansas. According to the terms of the bill, the state would pay off the bonds over 30 years with revenue generated by sports betting, lottery sales, and a combination of new sales and alcohol taxes around the sites of the future stadiums.

The bill now awaits the signature of Governor Laura Kelly.
