The effort to secure public funding to build a stadium for multibillionaire Stan Kroenke’s football team recently secured a significant victory in the judicial branch of government. The project also has clear support from the executive branch of government. But opposition exists in the legislative branch.
According to the Associated Press, Missouri budget leaders said Wednesday that they oppose spending taxpayer money on a new Rams stadium.
Specifically, House Budget Chairman Tom Flanigan has informed Governor Jay Nixon that Flanigan will block any effort to fund the stadium absent approval of the Legislature or the public.
