The state of Kansas has come to the Wizards with an offer for the STAR Bonds for the development
out at the Legends facility. It's not the $155 million that the Wizards and OnGoal had asked for
last week. It's $10.5 million less than that, the state has offered the Wizards and OnGoal $144.5
million in STAR Bonds.
While the Wizards and OnGoal are still working with the state of Kansas on getting the STAR Bonds
approved for the Wizards stadium out at the Legends, the local representatives are starting to push
the state to approve the STAR Bonds. State Senator Kelly Kultala of Kansas City, KS, and
Representative Kevin Yoder of Overland Park along with Wichita Representative Jason Watkins have
put pressure on Kansas Commerce Secretary David Kerr about this deal.
That's the message from Kansas Governor, Mark Parkinson, to the Wizards and OnGoal in regards to
the STAR Bond deal the state offered the team. If the Wizards are going to be building at the
location out at the Legends, it'll be using the $230 million package that the state of Kansas has
presented. Parkinson announced today that the deal they offered to the Wizards was final.
