Missouri AG and lawmakers push to dismiss a lawsuit over a tax-credit law funding sports stadiums, citing lack of standing and potential court overload.
Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley and the state legislature are urging a Cole County judge to dismiss a lawsuit challenging a special session law that funds professional sports stadiums through tax credits.
The plaintiffs—state lawmakers and an activist—argue the bill violates Missouri’s constitution by bundling unrelated provisions and favoring private interests.
State attorneys contend legislators lack standing to sue, saying the law doesn’t impose direct taxpayer costs since funding comes via tax credits subject to appropriation, and allowing such suits would flood courts.
The plaintiffs counter that the law undermines transparency and accountability.
The court has not yet ruled, but a dismissal could lead to an appeal to the Missouri Supreme Court.
