    Bayer’s St. Louis legacy: 10 years of litigation

    en years after Bayer's landmark $63 billion acquisition of St. Louis-based Monsanto, the German pharmaceutical giant is finally seeing the legal tide turn — but the battle is far from over. In this episode, St. Louis Business Journal reporter Jim Drew joins host Erik to break down a recent flurry of major developments in Bayer's long-running Roundup litigation. The U.S. Supreme Court handed Bayer a decisive 7-2 victory, ruling that federal pesticide law preempts state-level "failure to warn" lawsuits — potentially clearing a path to dismiss tens of thousands of claims. At the same time, a St. Louis Circuit Court is weighing a proposed $7.25 billion class action settlement that would resolve 67,000 Roundup cases, even as a faction of cancer victims pushes back on the terms. We also look at Bayer's surprising move to create a separate business unit — Ruvian — to house its Roundup operations, raising questions about liability management and whether a full spinoff could be on the horizon. And as insurers fight back against Bayer's attempts to recoup billions in legal costs, we examine what the science still doesn't know about glyphosate — and why this story may be far from its final chapter.

    Mayor Cara Spencer on downtown’s direction

    St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer joins Erik and Jacob to take stock of downtown's momentum — and confront the city's toughest structural questions. Six months after calling on the business community to plant a flag downtown, Mayor Spencer returns to the Arch City Report to assess what's changed. With the Rams settlement bill moving through the Board of Aldermen — potentially allocating $55 million for downtown redevelopment, the riverfront, and North City — Spencer breaks down exactly how those dollars would be deployed and what private matching investment could follow. But the conversation quickly turns to the harder questions: a state-appointed police board demanding a 22% pay raise with 24-hour notice, the strain on city services from a declining tax base, and whether St. Louis can realistically meet all of its pressing needs without a bigger structural fix. Is it finally time for a serious conversation about city-county merger? Topics covered: Downtown development progress — Millennium site, Ballpark Village Phase 3, AT&T Tower, and Mansion HouseHow the $55M in Rams settlement funds would be allocated across downtown, the riverfront, and North CityThe city's role as facilitator vs. doer in redevelopmentThe breakdown with the state police board and the battle over officer pay and benefitsThe case for regionalizing government functions — and whether opposition to merger is softening Arch City Report is sponsored by Maryville University and Cass Commercial Bank.

    150 years of the Great Divorce

    On the 150th anniversary of St. Louis’ “Great Divorce,” a decision many blame for the region’s long decline, a new conversation is emerging: Is reunification finally possible? This week I sit down with attorney and researcher Joe Blanner, who has spent a decade studying the 1876 split and its lasting consequences. We explore why past merger efforts have failed, why familiar problems keep resurfacing across generations, and whether today’s political and financial pressures create a true inflection point. With a new book in the works, Blanner makes the case for why this time might be different—and what it could take to finally bring the city and county back together.
