Missouri to hold special session on aid for tornado victims plus Chiefs and Royals stadiums
Missouri lawmakers are to kick off a special session Monday to consider aid for tornado victims and a package of financial incentives aimed at keeping the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals from leaving the state for new or improved facilities in neighboring Kansas. Gov. Mike Kehoe announced the special session Tuesday, less than two weeks after a deadly tornado hit St. Louis and the Legislature wrapped up its work without giving final approval to a late-developing plan that would authorize state bonds for the Chiefs and Royals valued at up to half the cost of the stadium projects. Missouri officials are scrambling to come up with an offer because Kansas lawmakers last year authorized bonds for up to 70% of the cost of new stadiums, paying them off over 30 years with revenues from sports betting, Kansas Lottery ticket sales, and new sales and alcohol taxes. The Chiefs and Royals have played professional football and baseball for five decades in side-by-side stadiums in eastern Kansas City in Jackson County, Missouri, drawing fans from both sides of the split metropolitan area. Their stadium leases run until 2031, and Royals owner John Sherman has said the team won't play at Kauffman Stadium beyond the 2030 season. Jackson County voters turned down a sales tax extension last year that would have helped finance a $2 billion ballpark district for the Royals in downtown Kansas City and an $800 million renovation of the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium. That prompted Kansas officials to put together an offer and forced Missouri officials to recalculate their plans. The Chiefs and Royals are part of a new round of stadium construction that is underway for professional sports teams across the U.S., with taxpayers often helping to pay the multibillion-dollar tabs. Many economists contend public funding for stadiums isn't worth it, because sports tend to divert discretionary spending away from other forms of entertainment rather than generate new income. But Kehoe said the teams provide a major economic benefit. Supporters of the projects also point to the sense of community and national attention that sports teams can bring, noting the three recent Super Bowls won by the Chiefs and the Royals' World Series title a decade ago.

Internet star Anna Grace Phelan dies at 19 from brain cancer
A 19-year-old TikTok star has died of brain cancer after revealing she was battling the illness just eight months ago. Anna Grace Phelan's death was confirmed Saturday in a message on her TikTok page. 'It is with great sadness to announce that our beautiful daughter, Anna Grace Phelan, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,' the message said. 'So many of you have followed her journey through a difficult battle with cancer and bore witness to her powerful testimony of faith. 'Thank you for the countless thousands of prayers for healing and peace. May we all rejoice with the assurance that she is in Heaven now, and she has been healed.' According to Phelan's obituary, her funeral service will be held on Thursday in Jackson County, Georgia, the New York Post reported. Phelan is survived by her parents, William 'Buddy' Phelan and Nadine Phelan, brother Harper David Phelan and more family members. The influencer revealed to her followers last September that she was battling brain cancer. Her diagnosis came days before she was due to start her first year of college. In a previous TikTok video, Phelan explained that her initial symptoms included numbness in the left side of her face and in the right side of her leg. That led to her scheduling an MRI which showed a lesion on her brain. 'I started losing my balance,' she told her followers. 'I started having vision problems in my left eye, my numbness in my face and on my leg is still here. My speech started to seem weird. My head's very foggy.' After undergoing a biopsy, Phelan learned she had a tumour. She was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain cancer that grows rapidly and is incurable. 'This is definitely the hardest news I've ever received,' she said in a TikTok video in September. 'By all means, this is not easy. Just going to trust in the Lord and try and keep pushing forward.' Phelan continued to document her cancer battle on TikTok in the months leading up to her death. In one of her final videos shared May 14, Phelan said, 'Things haven't been good. My tumour grew and it's in the area where I can't breathe. It can't be operated.' 'So, I just wanted to say thank you for all the prayers,' she continued. 'It would take a miracle, but I'm not giving up yet. If you keep praying for me, I think that I'll make it.' GoFundMe for Phelan was started after her diagnosis. The page has raised over $100,000.
