Kansas City, MO – Next Tuesday (June 5), the voters of Cass County will choose whether or not to approve a half-cent sales tax that, if passed, would fund the construction of a 5,500-seat arena. The proposed cost of the arena, which would be built in Belton, is 50 million dollars. KCUR's Greg Echlin has more.

Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
