Last week, Alderman Charles Quincy Troupe (D-St. Louis) appeared on Lizz Brown’s radio show and was quoted in the St. Louis Argus screaming to high heaven about how horrible the proposed Distressed Areas Land Assemblage Tax Credit was for north St. Louis.
He even attacked St. Louis’ black delegation to the state legislature for supporting the tax credit earlier this year.
But when he testified in Jefferson City before the special House committee examining the bill, Troupe had nothing but praise for the bill.
“Mr. Chairman, I think the bill is a great bill,” said Troupe. “I think it brings a lot of economic development to the area and I support everything in this bill,” said the former state representative.
