"DONNYBROOK" IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE SUPPORT OF THE BETSY AND THOMAS PATTERSON FOUNDATION AND THE MEMBERS OF NINE PBS.

>> WHAT A DAY THIS HAS BEEN, BUT YOU ARE NOW WATCHING PROBABLY THE ONLY SHOW IN AMERICA THAT'S NOT DISCUSSING DONALD TRUMP AT THIS TIME.

WE THOUGHT THE.. SOURCES ABLE TO DO THAT.

WE WILL CONCENTRATE, AS ALWAYS, ON THE REGIONAL ISSUES WITH SARAH FENSKE, THE MEDIA VETERAN, SITTING IN FOR WENDY WIESE WHO IS TAKING THE NIGHT OFF.

BILL MCCLELLAN FROM THE ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH AND STL TODAY.COM.

AND JOE HOLLEMAN AT STL TODAY.COM AND FROM THE ST. LOUIS AMERICA, WE WELCOME ALVIN REID WHO DID A GREAT JOB FILLING IN LAST WEEK.

SARAH, AS YOU KNOW, WENDY IS HEADING INTO THE MISSOURI BROADCASTERS HALL OF FAME.

THAT'S WHY SHE'S NOT HERE.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR HER.

TOMORROW FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU WILL BE SITTING IN WITH HER BETWEEN 10:00 AND NOON ON KTRS, CORRECT?

>> FILLING IN FOR ONE BROADCAST LEGEND AND SITTING NEXT TO ANOTHER BROADCAST LEGEND.

>> THERE YOU ARE, QUEEN OF ALL MEDIA.

LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THE MISSOURI COURT OF APPEALS WHICH RULED IN FAVOR OF 6 PLAINTIFFS WHO ARE CHALLENGING THE CITY'S EARNINGS TAX.

THE EARNINGS TAX IS ..

ASSESSED ON ALL WORKERS IN THE CITY AS WELL AS ALL RESIDENTS, BUT THESE INDIVIDUALS SAID THEY DIDN'T LIVE IN THE CITY AND WORKED REMOTELY AND SUCCESSFULLY ARGUED THE ST. LOUIS ORDINANCE PROMULGATING THIS TAX SPECIFICALLY APPLIES ONLY TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE OR WORK WITHIN THE CITY'S GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES.

BUT IT'S.. >> AND I THINK THEY DID A GOOD JOB OF MAKING THE CASE THAT THE CITY ARBITRARILY CHANGED THE WAY IT CALCULATES THESE THINGS DURING COVID.

MORE PEOPLE WHO US.. ST. LOUIS OFFICE BUILDINGS ARE SUDDENLY TYPING AT HOME ON THEIR COUCHES.

THE CITY ALWAYS ISSUED REFUNDS FOR PEOPLE WHO ASKED FOR THEM.

THEY SAID YES, I WORK FOR A ST. LOUIS COMPANY BUT DON'T ACTUALLY COME INTO THE OFFICE.

THEY PANICKED A LITTLE BIT.

STOPPED GETTING THEM, AND THE LAWSUIT THE CITY LOST.

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ARBITRARILY CHANGE THE RULES.

WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS, THIS COULD COST THE CITY $20 MILLION, AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A MULTIMILLION DOLLARS BILL.

POINT.

THE PART OF IT THEY LOST WAS THEIR ATTEMPT TO GET IT CERTIFIED AS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

TH..

BEHALF OF EVERYBODY TREATED IN THE ARBITRARY FASHION BY THE CITY.

AND THE APPELLAT.. CAN'T DO THAT.

UNDER MISSOURI LAW, YOU CAN'T REACH CLASS ACTION STATUS ON CASES INVOLVING REFUNDS.

THEY ARE SAYING FLAT OUT NO, YOU CANNOT PURSUE IT TO EVERYBODY TREATED THIS WAY JUST FOR 6 PEOPLE.

IT REM.. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO OUT, HIRE LAWYERS, FILE INDIVIDUAL LAWSUITS.

I DO.. BE $25 MILLION.

>> SOME LAWYER MAY GET ..

PLATE LANGUAGE AND NOT CHARGE MUCH.

I LIKE VIVA SHOCK, BUT I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THIS LAWSUIT.

WHY TAKE A SHARP STICK AND POKE AT THE CITY FINANCIALLY.

I WITCH THEY HAD NOT DONE THIS.

>> I AM MR. CLASS ACTION I FILL OUT EVERY CARD.

CONGRATULATIONS TO SCHNUCKS AND THE BANK OF AMERICA.

IF I HAD PURSUED THE ACTION ON MY OWN AND NOT JUST FILLED OUT THE LITTLE CARD, IT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

IT WOULD NOT REACH OF LEVEL OF $25 MILLION.

IF S.. AN ATTORNEY AND THEY SAID HEY, I HAVE GOT THE CASE, WOULD YOU TAKE IT, I WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO TURN IT DOWN BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF ATTORNEYS ALL FEEL LIKE THIS, BUT I THOUGHT THAT'S WHY YOU WERE SERVING JUSTICE.

>> OF COURSE.

>> HE WAS JUST LOOKING AT WHAT THE ORDINANCE SAYS.

THE ORDINANCE SAYS YOU PAY IT IF YOU WORK OR LIVE WITHIN THE GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES.

PEOPLE ARE WEL.. CHECKS IF THEY WANT TO THE CITY BECAUSE THEY THINK IT NEEDS IT, BUT THE CITY ITSELF HASN'T REALLY CONSIDERED THE EARNINGS TAX SACROSANCT BECAUSE THEY GAVE THEM HALF A PERCENTAGE BREAK FOR 30 YEARS.

IT W.. CITY WON'T GET.

IT DECIDED TO DO THAT.

I DON'T SEE HOW IT COULD BEGRUDGE THE PLAINTIFFS.

>> I DON'T SEE THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH SOMEONE TRYING TO LOWER THE TAX BURDEN ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LAW SAYS IT SHOULD BE LEADER.

.. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LIABLE TO THE TAX.

I DON'T THINK YOU COULD BLAME THEM THEN FOR SAYING WE DON'T WANT TO PAY IT.

NOBODY IS STOPPING ANYBODY.

IF YOU FEEL THAT THE 8,000, 10,000, 50,000, WHATEVER IT IS YOU PAID TO THE CITY.

IF YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT .. AWAY, WRITE A CHECK.

BUT THE LAW SAYS HER.. ARE GOING TO LEVY THIS TAX.

AND IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THE LAW, THAT TAX IS OKAY EVEN THOUGH IT'S LEGAL BECAUSE WE LIKE THAT TAX.

>> HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THINGS IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THE REALITY IS.

WHEN PEOPLE GET SU..

RIDICULOUS THINGS, WE FEEL FOR THE PLAINTIFF WHO LOSES AND WERE MAD AT THE ATTORNEY.

I GET IT.

YOU CAN HAVE FEELINGS LIKE BILL DOES.

..

I'M SAYING I..

FEELING TO WHERE I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE DID SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE THEY LOOKED AT THE LAW AND SAID I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THIS TAX.

I DON'T HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THAT EITHER.

>&g.. WAS MITT ROMNEY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, AND HE HAD A VERY COMPLICATED TAX CODE, THIS IN THE DAYS WHEN ALL CANDIDATES RELEASED THEIR TAXES.

HE SAID I USE A LOT OF EXOTIC EXEMPTIONS AND PAID AS LITTLE AS I COULD, AND YOU WOULDN'T WANT A PRESIDENT WHO DID OTHERWISE.

I THOUGHT, YES, I WOULD.

IF YOU MAKE MONEY, I NEVER BEGRUDGE GIVING SOMETHING TO GOVERNMENT.

>> LET ME ASK ..

THE SAKE OF TIME, AND SPEAKING OF MONEY, JOE HOLLEMAN, YOU HAVE WRITTEN IN YOUR COLUMN ON HOW SOME OF OUR ELECTED LEADERS FROM MISSOURI HAVE BERATED BOEING IN PUBLIC, LIKE JOSH HAWLEY, THE SENIOR SENATE FOR THE STATE, CORI BUSH, THE DEMOCRATIC DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN AND RECENTLY THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF PROTESTERS SAYING BOEING IS THE BAD EYE AND WASH-U SHOULD DWES O DIVEST IT.

AND BOEING IS GIVING ST. CHARLES 7.4 BILLION.

IT'S 7 TIMES THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A GRANT THAT BIG.

BUT THERE ARE ..

GUNS AND BUTTER.

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE SMART BOMBS BUT THE POST DISPATCH REPORTED THERE'S 600 VACANT UNITS IN PUBLIC HOUSING EVEN THOUGH THERE'S 26,000 ON THE WAITING LIST.

ARE YOU HAPPY THEY ARE SPENDING MONEY IN ST. CHARLES?

>> YES.

ARE YOU SAYING IT SHOULD BE GUNS OR BUTTER, SO LET'S NOT HAVE BOEING MAKE THESE BOMBS AND WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THAT MONEY TO HOUSING?

.. FEDERAL BUDGET WORKS.

IT'S NOW GOING TO GE.. MADE IN ST. LOUIS BY ST. LOUIS RESIDENTS WHO WILL THEN HAVE JOBS AND GETTING PAYCHECKS.

WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE?

I DON'T.

>> I WOULD L.. SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I'M GLAD TO SEE THE REGION GET A WIN, AND AN INVESTMENT FOR PEOPLE THAT WORK AT BOEING, BUT WHAT KIND OF PRIORITIES DO AS A SOCIETY HAVE WHERE WE FIGURE OUT SMART BOMBS WHERE WE CAN BLOW UP INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT A ROOF OVER THE MOM WITH SINGLE CHILDREN.

IT S.. >> IT SEEMS LIKE AMERICA.

REALLY I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE HAWK MCDOVE.

BUT BOEING MAKES THE THINGS THAT ARE USED IN WARFARE.

I MAY NOT LIKE WARFARE, BUT THE FACT THAT THEY GOT A CONTRACT TO MAKE WAR, THAT DOESN'T BOTHER ME.

IF WE MADE TANKS OR RIFLES..

IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT, I WOULD STILL FEEL THE SAME WAY.

>> ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD TODAY.

WE'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE INDISCRIMINATE BOMBING IN GAZA.

WELL, SMART BOMBS ARE SUPPOSED TO CUT THAT WAY DOWN WHERE YOU CAN'T GET INTO A BUNKER OR SOMEPLACE.

>>.. AT LEAST WITH SMART BOMBS WE CAN GO AFTER INDIVIDUALS.

>> THE PROBLEM COULD BE SOLVED IF ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD WOULD JUST AGREE NOT TO KILL OR HARM ANYBODY, AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THESE THINGS.

UNTIL WE.. SAY THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE A DEFENSE SYSTEM.

IF THE UNITED STATES HAS A DEFENSE SYSTEM, THEY ARE GOING TO SPEND MONEY IN CERTAIN PLACES ON ITEMS OF DEFENSE.

THEY MIGHT AS WELL SPEND IT HERE.

>> LOOK.

TH..

LOT OF THEM WASTE GAS AND SMOG AND THE WHOLE THING.

BUT THEY MAKE CARS IN MICHIGAN, SO I CAN'T BE MAD BECAUSE FORD GETS THE CONTRACT FOR THE SERVICE VEHICLES FOR THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.

I BET YOU THAT'S PRO.. A BILLION DOLLARS.

>> IT COULD BE.

LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT MONEY IN THE KINLOCH POPULATION 2 260 OR 300.

TW.. ADMINISTRATION PROMISED THEY WOULD REFURBISH THE PLAYGROUND THERE, 1.5 MILLION.

AND SINCE THEN, THERE'S BEEN INFLATION AND THE PROJECT COSTS 2.5 MILLION.

BUT NO..

GOING ON.

IT SEEMS TO ..

HERE.

THE NORTH COUNTY POLICE PRECINCT HASN'T STARTING ANY.

EVEN THOUGH THE SOUTH COUNTY PRECINCT IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

AND REMEMBER THE TRACK FACILITY, IT'S BEEN CAM COME KOBSADHS DID.

>> ARE THEY GETTING THE SHAFT BECAUSE THEY PROPOSED HIS BUDGET.

>.. KINLOCH IS A VERY SMALL PLACE.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

ANOTHER MILLION DOLLARS, UP TO 2.5.

ON PLAYGROUND IN KINLOCH WITH POPULATION THAT'S NOT THAT HIGH.

THE INDOOR BIKE TRACK, THAT WAS A STUPID IDEA.

PRECINCT, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT.

I'M ALL FOR BUILDING POLICE, THE PEOPLE THAT GIVE PROTECTION.

I CAN'T BE MAD AT COUNTY GOVERNMENT FOR NOT SPENDING 2.5 MILLION ON PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT.

>&g.. $2 MILLION ON A PARK AND TOWN THAT'S 250.

SEEMS TO ME THERE'S .. OF MONEY IN KINLOCH FOR THE 250 PEOPLE WHO REMAIN.

IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A GROWTH AREA.

AFTER TH.. SPELLED THE DEATH NAIL FOR KEN LOCK AND KIND OF HUNG ON AND HUNG ON AND HUNG ON.

>> AND CLAIT'S REALLY HAPPENING.

I WAS UP THERE TODAY I TO SEE THE PLAYGROUND.

NOTHING HAPPENING.

THE ILLEGALLY DUMPED TRASH ACROSS KINLOCH IS REALLY HO HORRID.

>> I REMEMBER THE POST DISPATCH WRITING STORIES ABOUT THE STORY STATE OF KINLOCH, AND THAT STARTED 30 YEARS AGO.

>> BUT 300 PEOPLE LIVING THERE, AND IMAGINE YOUR KIDS WALKING AROUND THAT TRASH.

>> I UNDERSTAND THE IDEA, THOUGH, THAT SOMEHOW MOST RECENTLY KINLOCH HAS GOTTEN IGNORED OR STRUGGLED IS NOT THE CASE.

IT H..

I'M NOT SURE SPENDING 2 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS ON A PARK SERVES THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE BEST.

>> LET ME ASK BILL MCCLELLAN ABOUT HOK, THE LARGEST ARCHITECTURE FIRM IN THE COUNTRY.

>>.. SPACE THEY ARE GOING TO RENT BUT THEY ARE COMMITTED TO DOWNTOWN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, BILL?

>..

UNLESS THEY TURN AROUND AND SAY I'M NOT GOING TO PAY THAT EARNINGS TAX.

YOU CAN'T BLAME THEM FOR THAT.

>> THE HELL YOU CAN'T.

>> I THINK IT'S GOOD NEWS, AND DOWNTOWN NEEDS GOOD NEWS, AND SO I APPLAUD HOK.

>> AND BILL BLOWING THE SHOP, MOVES TO THE COUNTY AND DEATH NAIL FOR THE CITY.

AND THE HUGE COMPANY IS GOING TO STAY, AND IT'S NICE OF THEM.

BUT SEE THE CITY IS JUST DYING.

>> BILL'S BOLONEY SHOP, ISN'T THAT THE NAME OF BILL'S COLUMN.

>> I WILL HAVE TO SAY I TALKED TO FRIEND THAT WORK AT HOK AND THEY FEEL VERY COMMITTED TO DOWNTOWN, AND AS AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM, THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO BE.

BUT THE EXPERIENCE HAS NOT BEEN PORTRAYED IN PLACES LIKE THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.

THEY ARE HAVING A GOOD EXPERIENCE, AND I HOPE WITH THEM COMMITTING, IT WILL STOP THAT, AND WE CAN GET MORE PEOPLE TO STAY AND MORE PEOPLE TO MOVE IN.

>> ARE WE SURE THEY ARE NOT STAYING THERE BECAUSE THEY HAVE RECEIVED SOME WONDERFUL CONTRACTS THROUGH THE YE..

THE AMERICA'S CENTER DOME AND ST. LOUIS CITY SC SOCCER STADIUM.

>>.. MAYBE NOT.

OR IS THAT HOK KANSAS CITY.

I BELIEVE THEY DID CITY PARK.

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE SAYING HOW THE HECK CAN WE MOVE OUT OF DOWNTOWN WHEN WE DESIGNED ALL THESE BUILDINGS?

>> YOU MAKE IT SOUND SO SELF SERVING, LIKE THESE COMPANIES ARE LOOKING OUT FOR THE CORPORATE INTERESTS.

>> I DO APPRECIA..

THEY MOVED, UNLIKE MANY OTHER ST. LOUIS COMPANIES, THEY DID NOT TAKE ANY TAX BREAKS.

I HAVE GOT TO APPLAUD THEM.

THEY DO SOME GREAT WORK AROUND THE WORLD.

THEY.. AND PLACES I CAN'T GET TO.

>> IT'S OKAY FOR PLACES THAT WERE USING WORDS LIKE INCLUSION, DIVERSITY BEFORE THEY BECAME COOL WORDS.

NOW THAT THEY ARE NOT COOL.. ANYMORE, THEY WERE STILL STANDING BY THAT.

THEY HAVE A REPUTATION OF BEING IN THE INCLUSIVE COMPANY.

THAT'S TWO OR THREE DECADES AGO.

>> SARAH FENSKE YOU WERE MENTIONED ON A PODCAST.

AND JASON REFERENCED AN EARLIER INTERVIEW YOU DID WITH HIM YEARS AGO.

HE'S THE GUY, .. PROFESSORS AT WASH-U AND SLU CAME UP WITH THE REPORT CALLED THE SAKE OF ALL.

IT CAME UP WITH 6 RECOMMENDATIONS, EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE, MENTAL HEALTH AND COLLEGE SAVINGS PLANS, TO TRY AND DECREASE THE DISPARITY AND HEALTH OUTCOMES AMONG PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT ZIP CODES AROUND HERE.

WELL, HE RETURNED THIS WEEK OR RECENTLY TO THE PROGRAM AND SAID YOU KNOW WHAT, NOT ONLY HAVE WE NOT MADE PROGRESS IN AREAS, THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE.

SO IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE REPORT CAME OUT, AND IT WAS PUT ON THE SHELF TO GATHER DUST.

>> WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO DO THAT IN ST. LOUIS.

YOU WRITE A LOT OF REPORTS, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF ACADEMICS,.. ARE REPORT WRITERS.

THEN I THINK A LOT OF REALLY TOUGH THINGS HAPPENED THAT SORT OF SEIZED THE CONVERSATION HERE, THE DEATH OF MICHAEL BROWN, COVID, ALL THINGS THAT MET BASICALLY NOBODY RAN WITH THIS BALL.

IT'S VERY DISA..

THE OTHER HAND WHAT JASON PURNELL IS WORKING ON, HE'S WORKING WITH ACADEMIA, AND NOW THEY ARE ALL IN ON ST. LOUIS.

THEY CHANGED THEIR FOE AS CUSS AND FOCUS A ND PUTTING IN MONEY.

THE FACT THAT ALL THE BUZZ AROUND THAT REPORT DPNT LEAD TO MEANINGFUL CHANGE, THAT'S DISAPPOINTING.

BUT HERE IS A CHANCE.. RUN WITH IT.

HE'S NOW SITTING IN A POSITION WHERE HE'S ABLE TO PUT MONEY INTO MAKING THE OUTCOMES HAPPEN AND GET THE ATTENTION OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SMART TO SAY LET'S MOVE THIS FORWARD.

IF ANYONE CAN DO IT, I THINK IT'S JASON.

IT'S A TOUGH TASK, BUT I FEEL HOPEFUL WE ARE GOING TO SEE MOVEMENT ON THIS KIND OF STUFF.

>> I DID NOT RETURN TO THE AMERICAN WHEN THE REPORT WAS FINISHED AND PUBLISHED.

HE WAS DOING THE SHOW HERE BUT AVERAGE ST. LOUISIAN PERSON, MY FIRST REACTION WAS GOOD LUCK WITH ALL OF THAT.

HERE WE ARE 10 YEARS LATER, AND YOU HATE TO FEEL LIKE SAYING YOU WERE RIGHT, ALVIN.

YOUR INITIAL REACTION IS WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED.

WHO SAW COVID COMING, AND FERGUSON COMING, AND ALL THE THINGS BASED AFTER FERGUSON HAPPENED.

>> FERGUSON GA.. AS HE POINTED OUT.

IT HELPED HIM BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN HE WAS GETTING CALLS ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR INTERVIEWS, AND HE WAS CENTER STAGE, AND FOR THE SAKE OF OUR REPORT GOT ATTENTION.

I TH.. ATOOOFTEN AS AN EXCUSE.

>> I HONESTLY AGREE WITH YOU.

I'M JUST SAYING THAT' THAT THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR THAT.

IT HAPPE.. WAS A CHANCE MAYBE TO GET IT DONE, BUT I'M NOT SURPRISED.

IF FERGUSON HADN'T HAPPENED, I STILL THINK WE MIGHT BE HAVING THE EXACT SAME DISCUSSION.

>> ATTENTION ISN'T ACTION.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

THERE WAS A TON ..

TON OF CONVERSATION AROUND THIS, BUT IT NEEDED SOMEBODY TO MOVE THIS FORWARD AND NOT THESE 10,000 INDIVIDUAL SILOS THAT WE HAVE IN ST. LOUIS.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

>> WE HAVE A SYSTEM WHERE PEOPLE WITH MORE MONEY LIVE IN NICER HOMES, THEIR KIDS GET A BETTER EDUCATION, THEY GET BETTER HEALTHCARE.

THAT'S JUST TH.. MAYBE YOU CAN HAVE PRECISE PRESSURE POINTS WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO RAISE THIS OR RAISE THAT.

ESSENTIALLY PEOPLE WITH MORE MONEY HAVE A NICER LIFE IN A CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY.

>> THE ABILITY TO MOVE TO AN AREA WITH HIGHER INCOME AND SCHOOLS ARE BETTER, WE ARE ELIMINATING THOSE, BECAUSE WE ARE ELIMINATING AFFORDABLE HOUSES.

I'M TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE TWO BEDROOM HOUSE IN A COMMUNITY LIKE KIRKWOOD IS NOW OUT OF REACH FOR MOST YOUNG FAMILIES.

>> I BELIEVE SOMETIMES WHEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM IS TOO MANY PLANS OF MULTIPLE POINT IMPROVEMENTS.

WHAT WE DO IS WE HAVE THIS ORGANIZATION THAT COMES OVER TO 10 ITEMS IN THIS PLAN, 17 HERE.

WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IS PEOPLE THAT TAKE ONE PLAN, ONE IMPROVEMENT AND MOVE IT TO FRUITION.

I TH.. UNHOUSED BILL OF RIGHTS HERE IN ST. LOUIS, A LOT OF GOOD IDEAS.

BUT IT WAS THE GIANT OMNIBUS WHERE THEY SAY CHANGE ZONING LAWS FIRST, TAKE IT SLOWLY.

WE GET OUR REPORT WRITERS IN ACADEMICS WHO LOVE WRITING BIG REPORTS, AND THEY DROP IT ON SOMEONE'S DESK AND SAY GOOD LUCK, GUYS, MAKE THIS ALL HAPPEN, AND IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.

>>..

HAPPEN.

FOREST PARK SOUTHEAST IS NOW THE GROWTH.

.. PARK ITSELF AND REJUVENATED.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CAN GET THINGS DONE.

UNFORTUNATELY THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF LEADERS WHO REALLY CAN'T LEAD A ONE MAN PARADE AROUND HERE.

IT'S BIFURCATE.. RIVER, AND WITHIN THE CITY AND COUNTY, THERE'S DIVISION.

WE DON'T HAVE A DARE DAILY, AND SAY THIS IS HOW IT'S GOING TO BE AND HOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

>> AND THAT MEANS THEY WON'T GET REELECTED.

WE D.. >> DO WE WANT FOREIGN VISITORS?

I THINK HIS NAME IS STEPHEN FOUTES.

.. WOULD LIKE TO BRING IN MORE FOREIGNERS FROM ASIA, SOUTH AMERICA TO VISIT MISSOURI?

IS THAT POSSIBLE OR IS IT A PIPE DREAM?

&g.. FOREIGNERS.

>> INTERNATIONAL VISITORS.

>> THANK YOU.

YES, WE CAN ATTRACT PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

I THINK WE MISSED THE PROVERBIAL ROCKET SHIP.

AND WHERE WE WERE IN THE EARLY '60s TO 1970 BEFORE APOLLO REALLY TOOK OFF, AND THAT WAS NOT PRIMARILY DONE HERE, AND WE SHOULD HAVE A GEMINI BOOSTER HERE.

WE SHOULD HAVE A SPACE MUSEUM.

WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING THAT BRINGS NASA, PEOPLE INVOLVED IN SPACE TRAVEL HERE.

WE CAN DO THINGS, LET'S DO THAT.

>> WE HAD THE KATI INDICATE KATY TRAIL.

..

I WAS HOPING THAT THE HOFFMANS WERE GOING TO MAKE THAT AN INTERNATIONAL DESTINATION.

>> WHEN I LIVED IN ARIZONA, WE DID HAVE A CONSTANT INFLUX OF GERMANS.

GERMANS ARE OBSESS.. WILD WEST.

THEY USED TO READ THE NOVELS ABOUT IT APPARENTLY THAT GOT THEM ALL INTERESTED IN THIS.

I DON'T KNOW THAT MISSOURI HAS THIS KIND OF CAS CASH NTION E. >> AND DENTONVILLE DID IT.

>> DID IT WITH A REMARKABLE ART MUSEUM DOWN THERE, CRYSTAL BRIDGES, WHICH I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THIS WEEK.

I WAS IMPRESSED TO SAY THE VERY LEAST.

IT A.. WALTON BASICALLY OPENED UP HER CHECKBOOK AND JUST STARTED BUYING THINGS, BLESS HER.. >> TO THE EXTENT THE MODERN MUSEUM OF ART IN NEW YORK CITY URGES MEMBERS TO NO LONGER SELL TO ARKANSAS.

TOO MANY ITEMS WERE GOING THERE.

I THINK WE SHOULD EXPLOIT CHUCK BETTER I, THE FOUNDER OF ROCK-N-ROLL.

TINA.. INTERNATIONAL FIGURES.

>> IF YOU HAD NIGHTCLUBS, YOU COULD GO TO A TINA TURNER SHOW.

>> HOW ABOUT TH -- LET'S DO IT.

>> OKAY.

WELL, IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND SEND IT TO US LIKE MELISSA BAUER DID.

WHAT IF THE N.F.L.

SETTLEMENT MONEY WAS USED TO PURCHASE THE RAILWAY EXCHANGE BUILDING AND CIRCULAR FORMER HOTEL BUILDING?

THANK YOU, MS. BAUER.

MAUREEN CONNELLY SAID REMIND THEM TO CALL SPENCER AND TISHAURA JONES BY FULL LAST TIMES.

TISHAURA.

AND I LOVE "DONNYBROOK" BUT SOMETIMES IT'S DIFFICULT TO HEAR EVERYONE WHEN ALL OF YOU ARE HAVING THE POLITE CONVERSATION.

WE ALSO GET THIS ON THE NINE LINE FROM BETSY.

>> MY NAME IS BETSY.

I WILL HAVE IN THE CITY.

I'M CALLING ABOUT THE RIVERFRONT TIMES THAT I'M SO SAD TO SEE IT'S GOING THE SAME WAY AS THE KDHX.

THE CITY AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE AND OUR PRIORITIES AND LIKES AND DISLIKES, BUT I REALLY MISS THE OLD KDHX AND I WILL DEFINITELY MISS THE RIVERFRONT TIMES.

.. VIEWER WHOSE LETTER TO THE EDITOR MADE THE POST DISPATCH.

>> WRITES US IN CARE OF NINE PBS 63108.

SOCIAL MEDIA USE HAS.. AND CALL (314)512-9994.

AND THAT'S IT FOR THIS IT FOR THE TRUMP FREE PROGRAM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US.
