From an article today's Post Dispatch titled "Tax subsidy backer cites St. Louis blight":

JEFFERSON CITY — Saying that parts of St. Louis look like battle-scarred Berlin in 1945, Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder called Wednesday for a new $100 million program to spur large-scale developments...

...Sen. John Griesheimer said a developer from St. Charles County was interested in the subsidy for a massive mixed-use development in St. Louis. The senator said he could not divulge the developer's name.

Griesheimer's bill is SB282. The House bill is HB327.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the whole Blairmont thing.

McKee and friends are from St. Chuck, but so are a lot of developers.

We had the same response when we saw that in the paper this morning. The Winghaven guy wants to do something in the city, but wants huge tracks of land. Lewis Reed is getting campaign contributions from Blairmont...

Yeah, it is an end run around BoA since McKee is not a friend of the black political class, or any other class it seems.
