Back in April, we announced that political consultant Lou Hamilton -- who has recently drawn criticism for his dual roles as aide to Mayor Francis Slay and hired lobbyist for Barnes Hospital -- was the winner of our "Name That Politico!" contest. We promised to give Lou a "special prize."
"What do you get the man that has everything?" we asked.
Well, we had something in mind. And after some time in the PUB DEF archives room, we have it.
Back in 2002, as people were fighting against Slay and developer Steve Stogel's evil plan to tear to down the 102–year-old historical landmark Century Building, a series of posters appeared downtown.
One of those posters featured a headshot of Stogel surrounded by parking garage after parking garage. "Welcome to Stogel's vision for St. Louis," it read.
Such a collector's item is a rare jewel for a political junkie. And it is our pleasure to present this "special prize" to Mr. Lou Hamilton.
Congratulations, Lou!

Great prize, those will be collector's items some day. Look for Lou to whiz over with this flashing dashboard light to collect his prize.
