Civics Lesson from David Nicklaus
He
says:
Brace yourselves, St. Louis. The convention industry is about to start beating the drum for another major expansion of the city's meeting facilities.
There's no official plan yet, just a consultant's report. But that's how these things start. A consultant identifies a problem, and pretty soon officials get busy figuring out what they can build to solve it.
And if that isn't enough, I'd like to remind St. Louis that its football and hockey sports venues are now over a decade old, which means that they're one championship and the attendent goodwill away from being obsolete enough to require publicly-funded replacement.
