The Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals have responded to Jackson County Executive Frank White's veto.

Jackson County Legislator Manny Abarca believes there's a scenario that could lead to the loss of both teams if Frank White's veto stands.

The deal included terms for a new lease agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs for 25 years and a 40-year lease with the Kansas City Royals.

In a joint statement released Friday, the Royals and Chiefs pledged $200 million in economic benefits for Jackson County.

Talks are underway on the future of the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals stadiums.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals say they will remain in Jackson County if voters approve an extension of the 3/8-cent sales tax in April.

The hearing is set for 3 p.m. at the Jackson County Courthouse in downtown Kansas City.

That 3/8ths tax is needed to help fund a potential new stadium for the Kansas City Royals and renovate Arrowhead Stadium.

On Monday morning, the Jackson County Legislature voted to postpone consideration on a 40-year extension of the three-eighths of a cent sales tax.
