He will extend the bonds later this year before the house reconvenes thats why there was a last ditch effort to stop in the courts but the common legal reality is that the courts are not there to legislate and that the suit is frivolous. There will be no political will to stop this on the house side regardless. The ironic thing about you talking about my lack of understanding about Missouri politics, other than your failure to understand how a bicameral legislature works, is that you clearly dont understand the St Louis voting power block in the state house.Look man,its clear you dont know enough about whats going on in this situation. I have followed this stuff religiously because it involves interests close to me.

Oh, I definitely don't underestimate the St. Louis voting bloc. I just know for a fact that Reps like Ron Hicks in St. Charles county are against building a stadium like the one proposed with state money. Speaker Diehl had obvious motives to keep the senate bill off the docket for the budget..not so much with Todd Richardson.

I did multiple clerkships in Jeff City. One of my parents was in both chambers. I am fairly certain I have more knowledge of Jeff City than you do.

I admit I havent kept up on Minnesota's expansion stuff but inst there some form of stadium issue there as well after they were awarded a franchise?

Technically yes, but there are two competing ownership groups, so it is 99% that there will be one in Minny. Just depends on which groups wins the bid as to where/which stadium is used.
