@tmckernan @davidhunn @stltoday why is Kroenke & his partner even investing in StL. Didn't they claim that StL was not "economically viable"

@davidhunn @stltoday "Give me money!" "Are you crazy? You said economic ruin." "Maybe I'll build an MLS stadium." "Here you go sir!" $$$

@davidhunn Kroenke is a parasite who suck StL municipalities dry because StL county/city is not united. That won't change unless StL changes

@davidhunn @stltoday I think there are some ever changing no win guidelines that he'll need to follow before this gets rejected.

@tmckernan @davidhunn @stltoday The ultimate corporate bully. I learned along time ago that power plays don't work unless you have the power

@RandyKarraker @stltoday @davidhunn I thought Kroenke said he couldn't make money in this dump, and now he wants to develop at the dump?

Hughes later said he's not against development, but doesn't want Kroenke to get tax breaks or public assistance.

@davidhunn Kroenke can do this to StL because of the disfunction of StL county's 95 municipalities. It's easier to sell a lemon to a...1/2

If the city of Maryland Heights had any pride they'd tell Kroenke and Bornstein to take a hike.

@Weatherbird @stltoday even though it might create a few low $ jobs, it will destroy beautiful land and put the city in bed with a snake. No

@Weatherbird @stltoday plus I want 0 of my tax dollars going to moneybag Kroenke. He has hurt the city, not helped.

And from the article comments:
The idea of giving Kroenke any assistance feels like paying the dinner bill for your ex and her new boyfriend. Perhaps we could send him flowers for Valentine's Day, too.Brooke Slossvia Facebook at 4:46 PM
Stan "The Devil" Kroenke DOES NOT DESERVE any favors from any St. Louis municipality! JUST SAY NO!Mary Margreiter Hedigervia Facebook at 4:41 PM
Besides the tif money, can we just stop building stuff in flood plains. Please.Kris Boevinglohvia Facebook at 4:10 PM
Can't wait to see all of those Rams fans who were all for giving tax dollars to build a stadium with a negative ROI, but are against this, something that can actually make money, just because he didn't build a stadium.Michael Dukevia Facebook at 4:05 PM
Stan has already given notice he doesn't need any public dollars from St. Louis. No need for this area of 'financial ruin' to bail him out now.Bruce Hixonvia Facebook at 4:51 PM
According to Kroenke, this area is one of the worst areas economically in the history of the world...let him and his partners spend their OWN money to build ANYTHING!!!!!Brian Wallnervia Facebook at 4:52 PM
