His comments about the impact of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (co-sponsored by Richard Gephardt and Bill Bradley) are spot on. That law stopped the historic preservation movement--and the concommitant construction--dead in it's tracks. Hyde Park was thisclose to it's own boom and then...poof. Did ol' Dick know that he had screwed his own City? How's that lobbying job in DC working out, Dick? Anyway, great interview. I've always liked Mr. Baron. I respect his work and admire his commitment to the City of St. Louis. Which is more than I can say for most of the pols and their courtiers who run this podunk little burg.
