St. Louis Alderman, mayoral candidate, Antonio French Sued Over Nonprofit's Unpaid Bills

For the second time in a month, the nonprofit organization founded by Alderman Antonio French is being sued over a billing dispute.

The most recent lawsuit was filed in St. Louis City Circuit Court last Wednesday. It alleges that French and his North Campus Partnership promised to pay a company called WCS Catering LLC, but stiffed it on an $11,305 bill.

North Campus Partnership is modeled on the Harlem Children's Zone, aiming to provide a host of services to underprivileged youth. Its contract with WCS called for the caterer to supply meals in bulk on a daily basis from September 2016 to May 2017.

WCS alleges that it never got a dime. It's now suing French as an individual, as well as the North Campus Partnership, for the meals it provided from September through November 7.
