BB23 Impacted Tenants Fund Expansion passes unanimously out of committee en banc (all committee members cosponsoring). Once this bill is passed by the full Board and signed by the Mayor, tenants impacted by the tornado can be eligible to apply for cash aid to help them secure new housing.

The Old Courthouse in St. Louis, where the Dred Scott case began, is reopening today with a celebration.

If you’re in the area, go enjoy and remember what it was like to have a federal government that cared about our history and invested in remembering it.

Maybe just 'approving' one candidate today. Here's what's on my mind:

The devil is truly in the details of the bill that return the St. Louis police to state control. @ryankrull.bsky.social explains why at @stlmag.bsky.social www.stlmag.com/news/state-c...
State control of St. Louis police could bring a hefty cost
Unions would have significant power over the board governing the SLMPD—and state law would require the city to spend 25 percent of its revenue on the department.
