I did not realize that the Frank White who vetoed putting a tax on the ballot for building a new stadium for the Royals was the actual former second baseman for the Royals:

“I am grateful that so many of my colleagues joined me in voting the overturn,” said Jackson County legislator DaRon McGee, who called White’s decision to veto the proposal “tone deaf” by taking away the rights of voters to make their own decisions.

White was a five-time All-Star for the Royals and is a member of their Hall of Fame.

Good for White for trying to protect the tax payers. He made the decision for his constituents, not for his professional past. Too bad the veto was overridden.
