The Kansas Legislature has approved a plan to issue bonds to help the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals finance new stadiums in Kansas, prompting a response from Missouri Mayor Quinton Lucas declaring an end to a 5-year-old agreement not to poach each other's jobs. Kansas Governor Laura Kelly sees it as a way to make the state a professional sports powerhouse, while Kansas lawmakers tap into fears of the teams potentially moving out of the area. This move has reignited a long-standing economic 'border war' between the two states over the beloved Kansas City sports teams.
