The Trump era has shown that our democratic institutions, at every level of government, are completely defenseless against a blustery strongman.

Today I am thinking about how many times I was asked to respond to a quote from then-candidate Cara Spencer about how much the City is failing downtown.
The move undercuts boosters' efforts to change the narrative that downtown is improving and hasn't been abandoned by the business community.

Years ago, St. Louis voters updated the city charter to enshrine our right to protect our public parks.
Last week, developers, lobbyists, our Mayor, and members of our Board of Aldermen used a clever legal workaround to eliminate that right.

Best guess is that Mayor @caraspencer.bsky.social will quietly sign this bill without much fanfare. Then there will inevitably be a lawsuit, and it will end up in the courts, which will cost taxpayers more money than the parking lot could ever be worth.

BREAKING: by a vote of 10-5, the St. Louis Board of Aldermen votes to ignore the city charter, circumvent the will of the voters, and sell a city park to some developers to turn it into a parking lot.
Mayor Spencer is expected to sign the bill, and a lawsuit is expected to swiftly follow.

The Board of Aldermen will vote tomorrow on whether to give themselves and Mayor Spencer broad authority to sell off almost half of the city’s parks.

Does St. Louis really need an elected sheriff?
That’s the question being posed by some elected officials after a judge temporarily stripped Sheriff Alfred Montgomery from his role on Wednesday.
