No Kansas City Tax to Lure McDonnell: Kansas City, Mo., voters rejected 62% to 38% a property tax increase to help build a factory for McDonnell Douglas Corp. if the aircraft maker decides to put one there. In June, St. Louis-based McDonnell Douglas named the city among others under consideration for a plant to build its MD-12 passenger jet.

McDonnell Douglas is also considering: Tulsa, Okla.; Shreveport, La.; Salt Lake City; Ft. Worth; Houston; Mesa, Ariz., and St. Clair County, Ill.
