@kcur893 Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas says he believes the public will likely still get their chance to weigh in on the council’s recently-passed deal that gives $600 million of city funds to a new Royals stadium. Lucas joined KCUR’s Up To Date in our brand new studios to discuss the Crown Center stadium and defend the city’s incentive package for the team. Low-wage worker groups and some community leaders have called for a public vote on the financing, calling it a bad deal for the city. “I still believe that is incredibly additive,” Lucas said. “This is a positive for Kansas City, it's a positive economically. If you're into vibes, it's a positive in that way too.” You can hear Lucas discuss the Royals, Kansas City’s search for a new police chief, and the future of the Country Club Plaza in the full hour long conversation at KCUR.org/uptodate or wherever you get podcasts. 🎤 Interview of Mayor Quinton Lucas from KCUR’s Up To Date 🎬 Filmed and produced by Zach Perez 💻 Edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansascity #mayor #kcroyals ♬ original sound KCUR - Kansas City
