Sigh. I guess I get to start with stadium talk again as that was the biggest news.

We’ll start with The Star story on this:

With only hours to spare Thursday, Jackson County Executive Frank White vetoed an ordinance that would have put a 3/8th-cent sales tax renewal on the April ballot to fund sports stadiums for the Chiefs and Royals.

Within 45 minutes of the veto being announced, four county legislators said publicly that they sided with White. That’s a key number because in order to override White’s veto, the County Legislature – which has nine members — would need six votes.
