You are just being robbed again. The same people who fleeced you for millions during the first go around, then fleeced you with the MLS stadium charade, are now fleecing you again. You should really direct your outrage at the public officials who are funneling your tax dollars into the hands of their loyal campaign contributors.
"Gov. Jay Nixon’s stadium task force, which guided the Dome authority’s hiring, has faced some criticism in the process. Some of the contracts were awarded without bids, which the task force said weren’t required. The firm of
task force co-chairman Bob Blitz was one of the largest benefactors of the effort. And many of the stadium contractors are also political donors."

"The suit was filed Wednesday by the Clayton law firm of
Blitz, Bardgett and Deutsch and has been in the works for about two years. Even before the relocation vote, information was being gathered for a potential suit. Another Clayton firm, Dowd Bennett, was co-counsel in the suit.
