QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should Missouri lawmakers approve incentives for pro sports teams?

The final hours of the 2025 legislative session are ticking down, and a plan to help fund stadium upgrades for Kansas City sports teams is at the center of a power struggle in the General Assembly.

The Missouri House has approved the incentives. However, they've been held up in the Senate, where a bipartisan group of senators has taken issue with the House rejecting funding for capital projects, including major items in Columbia and Jefferson City.

State Sen. Stephen Webber (D-Columbia) held the floor for hours Tuesday to prevent action on the stadium funding, supported by Senate Appropriations Chair Lincoln Hough (R-Springfield).

Should the Senate approve the stadium deal before the session ends Friday? Let us know by voting in the poll.
