David Toland

Hey, Kim, I like it.

I'll run it up the flagpole to some of the, um, you know, top chieftains in the state, and thanks for making it, because I'm, I'm intrigued by your idea, especially considering David Toland, the lieutenant governor and commerce secretary, put out a statement yesterday being like, "By the way, the stadium's owned by the Kansas taxpayers," and what do we have to show for that exactly? Maybe buying bonds is one way.

Carl, go ahead.

You're in Independence on KCMO.

That's not gonna mathematically work." Of course it was never gonna work.

Of course it had to be 300 square miles.

And by the way, I will say this in defense of the Kansas Department of Commerce, led by Laura Kelly's lieutenant governor, David Toland.

They had on the projected STAR Bond map the day the deal was announced.

But the economics of it, the math on it doesn't make any sense.

And the way that they are blowing smoke in this press release, this is from David Toland, who is the secretary of commerce.

He's basically Laura Kelly's henchman.

But to be very clear, this was not some Democrat proposal.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you I think it's a good one because I just don't.

And when people will try to sell you on the idea of you know, hey, you own it.

That is in this press release by David Toland as well.

At the end of the press release from the Kansas Department of Commerce, it says here, the Chiefs will begin playing in the new stadium, which will be owned by the people of Kansas and leased to the team in 2031.

I mean, no, this was Governor Kelly.

This was David Toland.

This was Uh, Ty Masterson, this was, uh, Sean Tarwater.

I mean, you know, this was across the political spectrum, right? This was Chris Croft.
