Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The future at Laclede's Landing
Q: Founders District. Is that vision still intact? Where is the long-term play for you guys on the riverfront?
The vision is not off the table, but realistically it's a long-term goal that requires broader developer participation and phased progress; we're finishing current phase, inviting others to join, and hoping Rams money could help spark further investment.
Questions swirl around the Regional Arts Commission
Q: What exactly prompted the state auditor to start this performance audit in the first place?
Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick announced the performance audit after whistleblower complaints alleged excessive staffing expenses and bonuses in violation of the Missouri Constitution, prompting a deeper look beyond routine financial reviews.
Questions swirl around the Regional Arts Commission
Q: So what did the state statute say about RAC's public funding and the cap on administrative expenses?
The statute described RAC as a body that distributes funds for arts and culture and imposed a 15% cap on administrative or staffing expenses, though there were competing definitions about what counts as administrative versus program spending, leading to questions about proper classification.
The St. Louis tech firms that now have a voice
Q: Do you think that's a fair description? I mean, St. Louis has a lot of money, but is it being put in the right places?
Yes, there is money in the region, but the opportunities lie in aligning capital with mid-market and regional growth targets, not just chasing high-profile exits; reshoring and stable mid-market growth are now prioritized.
Richard Chaifetz and his growing pro sports portfolio
Q: By taking a minority position in these teams, does that build up toward full ownership?
The path to larger ownership depends on how the investor is positioned, the team's standing, and league approvals; while minority stakes can open doors, pursuit of full control depends on various league structures and opportunities.
