KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- State House Representative and Republican Majority Floor Leader Jonathan Patterson is pushing for another Jackson County sales tax vote just for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025. A similar measure for a quarter, or 2/8ths of a cent, failed to get enough county legislative support to appear on the November ballot.

Patterson, who could be the state's next Speaker of the House if he wins reelection in November, says this is a way for Missouri to be competitive with what Kansas lawmakers did over the summer, revising their Sales Tax and Revenue (STAR) Bond tool, to make their side of the state line more attractive. When it comes to a sales tax measure solely for the Chiefs in Jackson County, one question the Chiefs didn't answer publicly over the summer was whether they supported what Democratic County Legislator Manny Abarca was trying to do- get them to go on the November ballot. "From the talks that I've had, I think they're open to a deal like that," Patterson said when asked if the Chiefs are on board with his idea. Patterson paused before he answered that question. On the surface, one difference between Patterson's idea and Abarca's is the amount of sales tax money the team would get. "Of course, once you get down to all the fine details, those have to be worked out, but I think they would be very open to a deal where they get the three-eighths and are able to renovate or expand Arrowhead," he continued. The Chiefs wouldn't comment to FOX4 Friday, but a sales tax question like that would seemingly leave the Royals without county money.

"I think with the vote in April, I think it's a given that there's a long ways to go before the Royals would want to do another vote or if at all, so I think the situation has played out. I think the reality is that the Royals will hopefully find a place to stay in Missouri and then that the Chiefs will have the 3/8ths cent all for the Chiefs." The Royals wouldn't comment Friday either, but before trying to build in the East Crossroads of the city in Jackson County, the team publicly said they were considering a site in North Kansas City. "I think Clay County's a very strong possibility," Western Commissioner At-Large Jason Withington said in an interview with FOX4 Friday. "You know, the Royals have been saying forever that having an entertainment district around it is very important to them. We have 99 acres, 100 acres of land that they can build around the stadium." Patterson, who lives in Lee's Summit, was also asked whether it's tough for him to talk about Clay County for the Royals when he doesn't represent anyone who lives north of the Missouri River.

"One thing I know is talking with people is that we want to keep these teams in Missouri, and we definitely want to keep the Chiefs in Jackson County." The revision of the STAR Bonds bill Kansas legislators passed over the summer didn't mention the Chiefs by name.
