Legal Trend: Public Hearing and Vote Before Funding Stadium

St. Louis is home to the Rams- an animal frequently associated with the missouri wilderness.  To keep their beloved revenue generating Rams, St. Louis is encouraged to build a new stadium. St. Louis Dispatch

The City is eager to keep its economic engine, the Rams, started moving forward on funding for a new stadium. Two tax payers and property owners said, hey, wait a minute, we want some public input. So, they sued. 

The City’s funding plan was to add a cool $1 billion, by extending the bonds used to pay for the Edwards Jones Dome. What citizen would notice an extra billion in local debt?
