Picking up trash. Filling potholes. Fighting fires. Our city employees deserve our support. 👷

The Budget & Public Employees Committee met to greenlight raises for city employees. I have called a special meeting for Tuesday, February 11th, to approve these raises prior to the election break.

Portions of our city are still trying to recover from decades of intentional disinvestment. The TRANSFORM STL Act aims to rectify this by earmarking money for North City, Southeast City, and Downtown.

This is not the story. The story is Trump nominating a completely unfit person to run the defense department that he knows will be pliant and Senate Republicans making a choice to not give a shit. Hegseth didn't accomplish anything today.
