Why should people in Central and eastern Missouri be required to finance something for Kansas City. Totally insane.

The rest of the state is paying $200M for all the new stuff being built at UM football stadium in Columbia MO. No care about that???

Just more political corruption. They know they can do it and get away with it. They did it with Busch stadium and the additional ballpark village.

The alumni are the ones who donate large sums for things like new stadiums. They are the ones who create this college culture of downtown bars by influencing University leadership and the Alumni Associations. A bunch of UM grads work in state government. Ban them, problem solved.

Start by banning taxpayer funded state employees from attending college athletic events at UM. Ban those collegiate license plates that DOR offers for a donation to the University. Ban companies from hiring UM graduates. Start stalking and doxxing state employees who are UM grads. Problem solved.
