LOUIS • City Comptroller Darlene Green announced that she'll oppose the stadium financing plan now before the city's Board of Alderman, saying that aldermanic bill to fund construction of a new riverfront football stadium "is not fiscally responsible."
The comptroller said she was worried that the current plan creates a funding gap for the city and puts its credit rating at risk.
