More transparency for KC Chiefs stadium deal

Q: Readers want candidates pressed on the Chiefs stadium incentives--the cost to taxpayers, the promises about jobs created and the secrecy of negotiations conducted under non-disclosure agreements. Do you support using state incentives to draw the team and other big companies to Kansas? How would you weigh the taxpayer cost against the promised benefits, and what transparency would you require for such deals?

A: I love the Chiefs. I'm as excited as anybody, but we need more transparency. The people who have made this deal owe Kansans more transparency. Kansans deserve to know what they are on the hook for and what the benefits will be.
