Court Upholds St. Louis County Stadium Funding Deal

The State Court of Appeals has rejected efforts by a group to keep St. Louis County from contributing money toward the construction of the new St. Louis Cardinals baseball stadium. The Court says the agreement between the County and the Cardinals is legal. The Coalition Against Public Funding for Stadiums says a voter-approved proposition barring the County from paying off bonds used for the stadium shoujld prevail. The Court says the funding agreement was arranged before voters approved the proposition.
