ST. LOUIS - It's been 12 years since David Freese earned his place in St. Louis Cardinals lore, playing hero twice in an epic comeback that paved the way to the Cardinals' most recent World Series title. On Oct. 27, 2011, the Cardinals returned home for Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, trailing the series three games to two and just one loss away from their season ending. That night, they also came within one strike of the season ending - not once, but twice. Even in the face of adversity, the 2011 Cardinals proved to be a resilient bunch capable or miracles. St. Louis overcame an 11.5-game deficit in mid-August to claim the National League's final postseason spot on the last day of the regular season. Yadier Molina’s new comments shed light on potential reunion David Freese, a then 28-year-old third baseman raised in suburban St. Louis, kept the magic going when the Cardinals needed it most.

Editorial: Fact checking the dubious Proposition HH claims

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:49:44 GMT

Sneaky mailers that imitate an official notice from the government opposing Proposition HH arrived in mailboxes last week, claiming that the ballot question, if voters say yes, would take away TABOR refunds, forever.The truth is tax refunds from the state — required under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights — are likely to continue indefinitely as long as the state’s economy keeps pace with inflation and population growth plus the 1% increase in authorized state spending under Proposition HH. State economists are predicting growth in the state’s revenue with a stable economy and hefty TABOR refunds getting paid out for a decade to come, even with Proposition HH.Americans for Prosperity sent out a duplicitous letter intended to replicate the TABOR refund checks that come in the mail, but it was just a campaign ad intended to drive home the point that Proposition HH will reduce TABOR refunds. The check was for $0. The big problem, however, is that even if Propo...
