The State of Missouri's inept Republican legislature has practically ruined St. Louis Aerotropolis by not approving tax credits for commercial development and freight forwarders around Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. If you want economic progress State of Missouri, you have to partner resources. China delivered. Missouri didn't. And I doubt if St. Louis or Missouri can get China back to the table after this fiasco. Sad.

For five weeks straight, China has failed to keep its Monday date to land a cargo plane at Lambert.
