Happy #BOAfriday everyone! Well, TBH, it’s not so happy.
Why?
The majority of bills scheduled for a Perfection or Third Reading/Final vote are "consent" items, meaning there will be not be a vote on the bills individually.

I’m not a fan of the BOA’s habit of suspending its rules for the purpose of introducing legislation from the floor.
Given that 95% + of rule suspension motions for this purpose pass comfortably, it smacks of hypocrisy for alders to vote against Browning’s motion

Introduction at #BOAFriday
#HUDZ Committee hearing on the creation of the #DSLSECID is scheduled for March 3
Happy #BOAFriday, except to the members of the St. Louis BOA who will vote in favor of the #BOAbb83 sales tax rebate for the tenant at #3942Laclede in the supposedly blighted #CortexTIF
Someone needs to remove BB83 from the consent calendar to enable debate.
SLDC skipped #HUDZ 😡
Details in quoted 🧵
#BOAfriday news: The Dec. 9 #HUDZ meeting was cancelled today.👀
The sole agenda item was: “The committee will discuss the Mayoral appointment of Mr. Otis Williams to the Clean Energy Development Board”
Williams is the interim Pres/CEO of SLDC, which staffs the #CEDBstl
The CEDB meets on Dec 12th.

Not so happy #BOAfriday to our elected officials at city hall.
Essential read from Glenn Burleigh👇
“While city voters may have thought that local officials were taking steps to ease the burdens faced by people who have lost their housing due to landlords’ negligence, it simply wasn’t happening.”

Given Sweeney's omnipresence at the BOA - often as an honored guest of an alder at #BOAfriday meetings - and his role writing fiscal notes for some board bills, it sure appears that may be representing all three parties simultaneously.
Happy #BOAfriday, especially to those St. Louis BOA officials who will oppose the reconsideration of #BOAbb68 , which didn’t gain sufficient votes for final passage at the Oct. 24 meeting.
#Cortex353
Happy #BOAfriday to all, especially the alders voting NO on these bills:
#BOAbb68 Extends #Cortex353 blight designation & eminent domain.
#CortexTIF
#BOAbb82 Sale of Interco Plaza park to developer John Berglund/Starwood Group

Happy #BOAfriday, especially to the member(s) of the Board of Aldermen voting NO on #BOAbb68 at today’s 10 a.m. full BOA meeting.
BB 68 extends the bight determination for the #cortex353 redevelopment area for 5 more years & extends eminent domain rights.

Welcome to #BOAfriday
VOTE NO on #BOAbb161
Does Anheuser-Busch need a personal property tax abatement with a "net present value" of $1.19 Million?
Nope!
A-B's gross profit for the 12 months ending 9.30.24 was $32.6 Billion. The tax break equates to the cost of 5 seconds of a Super Bowl commercial.
How's it going at the BOA today Alderman Vollmer?
#BOAfriday #BOAbb153
Welcome to #BOAfriday!
Unnecessary tax breaks to oppose:
#BOAbb161 $1.19M tax abatement gift to A-B; equal in value to five seconds of a Superbowl ad.
#BOAbb166 Adlers CPA. Up to $2.2M in earnings & payroll tax rebated by the City.
Adlers does work for GSL, which GSL didn’t disclose at #HUDZ
