Jackson County Executive Frank White pitches Gov. Kehoe adjusted approach to sales tax extension
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jackson County Executive Frank White Jr. wrote a letter to Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe last week, proposing that the county renew its 3/8-cent sales tax. The sales tax was originally approved by voters in 2006 to fund improvements to Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums. If renewed, the sales tax would focus on the following three priorities: Modernizing and improving Arrowhead Stadium Restoring and upgrading public safety infrastructure Investing in public health Kansas City man arrested, charged after high-speed boat chase at Lake of the Ozarks 'With the passage of Senate Bill 3, Missouri now has a powerful tool to play a significant role in attracting and retaining professional sports teams—most notably the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals,' White wrote in the letter. Not only would the sales tax go toward modernizing and improving Arrowhead Stadium, White said it would also help the county invest in public health, as well as restore and upgrade the county's public safety infrastructure. Funds from the sales tax would also go toward modernizing the county's juvenile detention facility, according to White. 'The impact of these improvements will be felt well beyond county lines,' White wrote. In the letter, White also addressed the controversy surrounding the Royals' potential relocation: 'I also want to be clear about the Royals: I fully support keeping them in Jackson County. Since the April 2024 vote, the City of Kansas City has taken the lead on identifying a new site and working with the team, and I've respected their desire to do so. At the same time, I've made it clear to the Royals that Jackson County is ready to support the city's efforts and is willing to step back in should the team present a proposal for us to consider or express interest in reengaging. To date, the Royals have not done so.' Kauffman Stadium, which currently benefits from the 3/8-cent sales tax, would not be included as a beneficiary of the renewed sales tax, according to White's letter. White released the following statement Monday afternoon: 'First, it's important to remember that these teams are for-profit, multi-billion dollar businesses. They're always going to look for the best deal for themselves and I can't blame them for that. But my job isn't to work for the teams; my job is to get the best deal for the people of Jackson County. 'Out of respect for the City of Kansas City's publicly stated desire to take the lead in conversations with the Royals, much of our engagement has focused on the Chiefs. At the same time, we remain open to discussions with all parties to ensure Jackson County's interests are fully represented. 'Last and most importantly, Jackson County taxpayers have long carried the overwhelming share of public funding for these teams, historically providing more than 90% of the investment, which currently amounts to over $50 million every year. As we look ahead, our priority is to ensure any new agreement is fair, transparent and reflects the significant commitment our residents continue to make.' The Jackson County executive said he believes this proposal could generate between $500 million and $700 million. He said it offers a clear path to retain the Chiefs, protect taxpayers and deliver long-term public benefit. White also proposed that the sales tax be presented to voters as one ballot question instead of three. He said this would clarify that the renewed tax may be used for more than one related purpose. White also asked the governor to confirm with the director of the Department of Economic Development and the commissioner of the Office of Administration that the sales tax meets the requirements stipulated in Senate Bill 3. The 3/8-cent sales tax is currently set to expire in 2031, which is when the Chiefs' and Royals' leases end. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith believes offense is going to prove doubters wrong
It's no secret that Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith can do some superhuman things on a football field. He splashed on the scene last season as a freshman, having one of the best freshman seasons a receiver has ever had. As good as Smith was, however, as a receiver, he needed some help to get his catches, yards, and highlight plays that came early and often. The line had to block, and quarterback Will Howard had to be able to put the ball in the right spot on time. Over 1,300 yards and a College Football Playoff national championship later, it's safe to say all of that occurred in 2024. Now that the offense has to usher in a new quarterback, the offensive line has some pieces to replace, and two NFL running backs are no longer helping things out, and the consensus is that the OSU offense won't be nearly as good in 2025. According to Smith, however, not so fast. When speaking with Adam King of the CBS affiliate WBNS 10TV in Columbus, he had a warning for opposing defenses this fall. "I just can't wait until the season starts. We're definitely gonna put on a show," Smith said. "A lot of people are doubting us, I've been seeing on Twitter and social media. So I can't wait to prove a lot of people wrong this year." There's more than one way to move the football, and you have to believe this year's Ohio State team will do it differently than last season. With a former wide receiver (Brian Hartline) as Offensive Coordinator, a quarterback who isn't as mobile, and a running back room that will need to retool, you have to believe the passing game might be a priority in 2025. We'll see, but that has to have Smith excited and ready to go. Hopefully, his teammates can pull their weight and make him look prophetic.

Iowa baseball pitcher Anthony Watts selected by Cardinals in MLB Draft
As the third Iowa baseball player chosen in the 2025 MLB draft following teammates Cade Obermueller, Daniel Wright, and Aaron Savary, Hawkeyes pitcher Anthony Watts has been selected by the St. Louis Cardinals. Just 15 spots after the Cleveland Guardians selected Savary in the 13th round, St. Louis used the No. 420 overall pick to select Watts in the 14th round on Monday from Atlanta, GA. The 6-foot-4, 175-pound right-handed native of Clive, Iowa, was primarily used as a relief pitcher out of the Hawkeyes' bullpen this past spring, posting a 4-4 record with a 4.72 ERA in 40 innings through 24 appearances. Watts also finished the season with 45 strikeouts, a career-low 19 base-on-balls, 27 hits allowed, and two saves. Watts' selection now increases the number of Hawkeye players drafted under head coach Rick Heller to 37. Watts joined the program before the 2023-24 campaign following one season with Creighton, which gives him one year of NCAA eligibility remaining. Similar to Savary, does not list an approximate pick value for Watts. However, he could elect to return to the Hawkeyes for a senior season by not signing with the Cardinals. If Watts were to sign a professional contract with St. Louis, he would finish his three-year college baseball career with an 8-8 record and a 4.33 ERA on 129 innings pitched through 11 starts in 59 appearances to go along with 129 strikeouts and three games saved.
