As everyone knows, legal work is not cheap. That is why we've set up this web page with the link for donations.
As most of you probably know, the St. Louis City ordinances authorizing the $400 MM TIF and the possible use of eminent domain for real estate developer Paul McKee, Jr. and his company Northside Regeneration LLC were struck down. The ordinances were ruled defective under the state statute that authorizes the creation of TIF and redevelopment districts. For now, the ordinances are null and void.
Defending the original ruling falls onto the shoulders of whomever won at the trial level. In this case that is the original plaintiff and the later plantiffs who joined the suit.
Our aim is to raise approximately $20,000 to help fund the efforts to defend the invalidation of the ordinances and to cross-appeal parts of the ruling the plaintiffs disagree with. We have already raised about 10% of the funds needed but we still have a long way to go. Please consider donating what you can.
Thank you,
