There he goes again.
According to recently released state records, Lt. Governor Peter Kinder is advocating for taxpayers to pick up the bill for another pro-sports stadium.
At a June 17th meeting of the Missouri Development Finance Board, Kinder told his fellow Commissioners that he supported spending $30 million in taxpayer money for a 18,500 seat stadium for the Kansas City Wizards pro soccer team.

Missouri taxpayers will recall that Kinder has a long history of sports themed boondoggles, including the following:
- Taxpayer funding for a new Cardinal's stadium in St. Louis
- Taxpayer funding for the Tour of Missouri bike race
- Taxpayer payoff of the debt from Kinder's 2007 Tour of Missouri bike race
