📰NEW from @DavidCStokes: St. Louis County hasn’t had a real watchdog in years. Two straight auditors produced almost nothing while on the public payroll. It’s time to end the no-show auditor tradition. stltoday.com/opinion/column…

RE the WaPo story over the weekend about Kansas City's subsidized grocery store, it's interesting that there's an Aldi just a few blocks south with very good google reviews. I've been in here once and it's just like mine out in the 'burbs, but with a t-shirt security guard
Despite a recent $750k taxpayer subsidy, the shelves at Kansas City's government-run grocery store are "almost bare." It also lost $885k last year and is, unsurprisingly, hemorrhaging customers.
One reason we don't know the details of Hamilton County's new Bengals lease that could cost taxpayers $700m+ for stadium expenses is that county commission members haven't seen the final lease, even though they already voted to approve it, this is fine. fieldofschemes.com/2025/07/18/229…

This is embarrassing. The folks at @LinkedIn just released a list of "Cities on the Rise." #KansasCity appeared at #11. But given their failure to grasp economic impact b#llsh!t, I have no faith in any of it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*THIS* is NIMBYism. 'No one is against housing,' the opponents say. They just don't want it, y'know, near them. #housing kansascity.com/news/local/art…
“I don’t care how much you love working people. They can’t afford a house because all the rules in your state make it prohibitive to build. And zoning prevents multifamily structures because of NIMBY,” [Obama] said.
