A majority of the $1 million spent this year on the failed riverfront stadium project was for work done before Jan. 13, when National Football League team owners voted to let the Rams relocate to Los Angeles.

But more than $240,000 was billed to the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority for work done between March 1 and March 31, two months after the plan had seemingly been shelved.

An invoice for $241,667 from HOK Inc. was designated for "design development." HOK senior vice president Lance Cage, who signed the invoice, did not immediately return a call Tuesday afternoon, and an HOK project accountant declined comment.

Oh wow makes me wonder if some graft and swindling is going on.

Highly probable. The hogs can't back up from the money trough.

The only other much less likely option is they're trying to bill the costs of a new soccer-only stadium (for a new MLS team) under this. Because I'm not buying this.

Shrewsbury said no money had been spent related to whether the failed project could be revived as a stadium for a Major League Soccer team. A group of business leaders, including several who worked on the riverfront stadium project, is now looking to secure a professional soccer team for St. Louis.

Corrupt and inept government is what has cost St. Louis three NFL teams. It's sad.

All I can hope is that these bills were for uncollected payment and the invoiceing didn't reflect past due

Folks in St. Louis still getting swindled by RSA and the task force. And they wonder why Kroenke wanted out. I understand their anger at Demmoff but I never could figure out why some of their anger wasn't directed there.

We're dumb. Don't know any better.

NO, not dumb. People everywhere react the same. No one likes to be told they've been duped.
