In June, 21st Century St. Louis PAC, Greater St. Louis’ legal money laundry, donated to five candidates including $2,000 to current St. Louis City 3rd Ward Alder and Recorder of Deeds candidate Shane Cohn.
Greater St. Louis (GSL) is the merger and rebranding of Downtown STL, Civic Progress, St. Louis Regional Commerce & Growth Association (chamber of commerce). Its main agenda at City Hall and Jefferson City has been Rams Settlement money for Downtown, support for data centers, corporate welfare in general, and the State takeover of St. Louis City Police.
GSL has a stable of 15 lobbyists, more than one lobbyist per Alder. Also see How Much Does A St. Louis City Alder Seat Cost?…
