Missouri Supreme Court Reverses Decision On Chiefs Upgrades

The Chiefs "scored big Tuesday when the Missouri Supreme Court reversed a state hearing panel’s decision that would have saddled the team with $1 million in back taxes in connection with the renovation of Arrowhead Stadium a decade ago." The high court said that the state’s Administrative Hearing Commission "erred when it ruled last year that the team should have paid sales taxes on a number of items bought" during the $375M upgrade completed in '10. Taxpayers paid $275M of the total for things like "expanded concourses and replacing basic stadium infrastructure," while the Chiefs "kicked in the rest" (K.C. STAR, 6/3).
