When St. Charles sold Mueller Park for $3 million without a public vote, some residents decided they’d had enough.
Now, they’re pushing to change the city charter and give voters a say before any city-owned park can be sold.

St. Charles residents want rules on the sale of parks. In St. Louis, some say the rules are ignored

state legislators should be paid more. otherwise the legislatures are full of dilettantes, cranks, and nepobabies. this is why you keep hearing about the craziest fucking state laws
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

Few people outside North Carolina have heard of Paul Newby, the chief justice of the state’s Supreme Court.
But Newby has had a huge impact on America and his state. He’s done this with the goal of delivering what he’s called “biblical justice, equal justice, for all.”

New data obtained by @stltoday.com indicates hundreds of the buildings mangled by the May 16 tornado in St. Louis were likely vacant before the storm even hit.
That could hobble the city's efforts to rebuild the neighborhoods hit hardest by the storm.

Hundreds of St. Louis houses hit by May tornado were vacant. That will hurt recovery.
The Post-Dispatch found that 1,175 structures, more than half of those declared unsafe, were likely or definitely vacant before the May 16 tornado.

I found it pretty charming to learn that after Roger Taney died, sitting lawmakers called his death a "victory for liberty and the Constitution," suggested that he was probably burning in hell, and joked (?) that they'd rather hang him in effigy than do literally anything to honor his memory
Roger Taney’s Contemporaries Hated Him As Much As You Probably Do
Ordinarily, members of Congress do not publicly suggest that recently deceased Supreme Court justices are burning in hell. But Roger Taney was no ordinary Supreme Court justice.
