Miserez did not return calls Monday.

It remains unclear whether the Greitens administration could seek to change or nullify a board decision after he takes office if St. Louis is awarded the tax credits. Board members are appointed by the governor.

Alderman Christine Ingrassia, 6th Ward, the sponsor of the ballot proposition, also did not respond to a request for comment.

SC STL has said it would pay at least $150 million to the league to acquire a team and would pay for any construction cost overruns and ongoing stadium maintenance over the course of the 30-year lease.

If the tax credits are approved by the state Development Finance Board, it wouldn’t be the first time the board approved millions for a sports team just ahead of a change in the governor’s office.

In late 2008 the board approved a $25 million request for the Kansas City Chiefs professional football team for improvements to Arrowhead Stadium and the construction of a practice facility at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. The tax credits were approved in the waning months of Republican Gov. Matt Blunt’s term ahead of Democrat Jay Nixon taking office.
