Fresh off the Stan Kroenke/St. Louis Rams debacle, St. Louis
taxpayers turned down the chance to fund a Major League Soccer team in 2017.
Earlier this week, businessmen and city officials struck a
deal that is reputedly a vast improvement over the 2017 deal, with taxpayers
being on the hook for only about half as much as they would have been in 2017.
That’s progress. And it proves that sometimes citizens can
fight back against having their money spent for them to enrich team owners and
other entrepreneurs.
I can’t wait until the time when citizens actually come out
ahead on the deal.
