ICYMI: SLDC is not committed to transparency. The 5/27 #LCRAstl meeting video was uploaded yesterday but has not been made available for public viewing, as of 3:35 p.m. today. Transparency delayed is accountability avoided. The BOA must mandate that SLDC meetings be live-streamed on Youtube.

What does it take for the City of St. Louis to comply with #MOsunshine law? @stltoday.com reporter @stephkukuljan.bsky.social asks: "So am I to assume that the city can quickly access records but purposefully delays them? That all it takes to get records is to contact the Atty Gen's Office ASAP?"

Hey A-B, how about rescinding your tax breaks with the City of St. Louis? The tax abatement deplete the City of vital resources, which are even more critical in light of the tornado. #PayYourFairShare #STLrecovery

Update from 5.27 #LCRAstl board: Delmar Divine 2: Approved. No BOA approval required Security for Monarch: approved Tax abatement resolution for veterans clinic: 1st round approval. Next step: BOA Baden school bonds & security for Railway Exchange: I didn't hear the vote; presumably approved /1

I tuned in very late to today's 3 p.m. #LCRAstl board meeting. The board entered closed session at approximately 3:43 p.m. As of 5:09 p.m., the board is still in closed session. Developer Larry Chapman is restless. I suspect that Delmar Divine Phase 2 may be a subject of the closed session.
