Hearing that Spencer did not sign the Interco Plaza bill.
However, since St. Louis is a weak mayor system, that means the bill will automatically go into effect.

Best guess is that Mayor @caraspencer.bsky.social will quietly sign this bill without much fanfare. Then there will inevitably be a lawsuit, and it will end up in the courts, which will cost taxpayers more money than the parking lot could ever be worth.

This is absolutely true.
The question, then, is which elected officials will allow this evasion, and which will use their office to make A.I. development as transparent as possible?

We shouldn't. But those who stand to make the most money from this are doing everything possible to evade regulation and scrutiny.

Completely predictable. Mayor Spencer's new CEMA chief is a Republican who threw her a fundraiser during the campaign.

Cara Spencer's theory of government is that sucking up to Donald Trump will somehow help the city. With today's news about the Trump admin revoking a $197m grant and killing a job-creating battery plant in north city, she may want to revisit that theory.

Just for fun, here's what Cara Spencer said when FleishmanHillard left. I guess she hasn't "gotten serious" about investing downtown.

Today I am thinking about how many times I was asked to respond to a quote from then-candidate Cara Spencer about how much the City is failing downtown.
The move undercuts boosters' efforts to change the narrative that downtown is improving and hasn't been abandoned by the business community.
