Jackson County owes the Chiefs and Royals more than $2.5 million but no one’s worried

Remain calm. All is well — even if Jackson County is behind on more than $2.5 million in stadium payments to the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals. County officials sound like Kevin Bacon‘s character, Chip Diller, in Animal House as they try to reassure us that the teams haven’t threatened to move … yet. 

The Kansas City Star reported over the weekend that no one was concerned. We got vows that the county will never default on the bond payments used to pay for the latest round of renovations at Truman Sports Complex.
