Alan that is correct. Two other things of interest in local politics. St Louis has a Mayoral election in a few weeks and the Black community actually seems to be mobilizing around a single candidate. There is a small chance the White Mayor might lose.
Second and more important is the Liberal in St Louis are finally determining that tax brakes are not their friend. The Lib's gave a company $600,000 to create jobs in a run down black area of St Louis. So far the firm has created 23 jobs and none of the employees lives in the city or is black.

It is a mistake to think businessmen are more immoral than politicians!
Keynes, 1937
