Buried at the bottom of a Post-Dispatch story about the City of St. Louis’s meeting with a jackpot of developers, lawyers, and property owners interested in applying for the sole available casino license on behalf of a city project was the news that St. Louis county was planning to issue its own Request for Proposals for a competing county project.  That news is  a sweet victory for a loose coalition of neighbors and conservationists who feared that the deck had been stacked for North County Development, a quartet of lawyers and other monied interests who reportedly have a contract on several parcels of Spanish Lake property owned by St. Charles resident Bill Coleman near the famous Confluence of the Rivers conservation site.
