The erratic posting of certain DC docs over the past 3 months is infuriating.
Noteworthy: the metadata had been stripped prior to the files being sent to the meida and uploaded.

😡 There's no legitimate public intetest reason to embargo St Louis City corporate welfare meeting videos. But hard to tell why there's now a five day delay. It could contractor is no longer in charge of it and no one at SLDC knows how YouTube works 🤦♀️
the video of the 2.19.26 meeting of the SLDC board of directors meeting hasn’t been posted on the DevelopStLouis YouTube channel, as of 10:35 a.m. today.
