KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jackson County Legislative Chairwoman Jeanie Lauer spoke to FOX4 Friday about Missouri Governor Mike Parson’s proposed budget that came out Wednesday as it relates to the Chiefs and the Royals.
“At his State of the State Address and as he presented the dollars that he had outlined in the budget, there was nothing specific for the Chiefs, nor it for the Royals,” Lauer said.
Lauer’s comments back up what Parson told FOX4’s John Holt the day before.
What will happen to North Kansas City site without Royals ballpark?
“At this time, we’ve already got that budget already in the process, so without knowing those things,” Parson said to Holt that day.
The thought early on in January was the teams wanted to get this issue in front of Parson because he may have been more willing to give the teams money than whoever becomes the governor after him in 2025.
“They’re a business operation,” Parson said of the teams. “I got to a look at it from a business perspective. I’ve got to see what’s best from the state of Missouri.”
