Because St. Louis city is independent of St. Louis county.

In most large cities, take Chicago for instance... The city of Chicago is in Cooke county Illinois, Cooke County also includes the suburbs of Chicago. Saint Louis being an independent city does not gain revenue from St. Louis county and vice versa. STL city was made independent of STL county in 1876 (I believe), because the county was mostly farm land then and the city thought the county was weighing them down financially so they broke away which came back to bite them as STL county now has all the money.
