JEFFERSON CITY • A Missouri state senator is threatening to derail a bid to boost taxes for the St. Louis Zoo because of the city’s decision to ban employers and landlords from discriminating against women who have had an abortion.
Sen. Bob Onder, R-Lake Saint Louis, linked the two issues together during a lengthy debate on the Senate floor Wednesday, saying he’s wary of supporting a push to tax residents in counties surrounding St. Louis when the city has made itself what he calls an “abortion sanctuary city."
Under an amendment filed to the zoo tax proposal, Onder said the zoo should have to change its name to “The Midwest Abortion Sanctuary City Zoological Park.”
“It’s beautiful,” Onder said of his proposed name change. "Hey, you come to us asking for the tax authorization, we might put some conditions on it, okay?"
http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt ... a274a.htmlThe zoo, which currently charges no admission fee, wants to increase tax revenue by expanding the collection of a sales tax beyond the St. Louis borders.
Legislation sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Gina Walsh, D-Bellefontaine Neighbors, would allow the city and four counties – St. Charles, Jefferson, Franklin and St. Louis – to approve ballot initiatives for a sales tax of one-eighth cent or less.
The money generated would support the zoo’s animal conservation and infrastructure needs, as well as programs to breed and conserve endangered species.
But Onder said the more regional approach to funding would mean residents in his district could face higher sales taxes even though they live as far as an hour from the zoo.
“Charge us admission. Don’t call us freeloaders,” Onder said.

Last night I decided at the last minute to stop by the grocery store on my way home. After I finished my shopping I walked across the parking lot to the bus stop and had about five minutes to wait. As I was standing there some guy and his kid walked across the street from their house and the kid started kicking his ball against the bank building. That is literally what they walked across the street to do.
Am I wrong for thinking this guy is an asshat for letting his kick repeatedly kick his ball against a building they don't own while he just stood there watching him? The kid had no control over the ball and there were windows he was kicking it between. I just kept waiting for the kid to break a window.
I guess I'm turning into a cranky old man but it bothered me. Why can't he kick the ball around with his kid instead of letting his kid beat on somebody else's property? There is a literally a school right next door with a big grassy area, go over there and kick the ball around with your stupid kid you lazy POS!!!
