Local Control: Seemingly Impossible Goal Nearing Reality

Both sides were very principled in their arguments, and both carried solid points to the table…and both sides had strong backing.  What makes this compromise different than some of the stuff we’ve read about in the news?  Everything about this deal makes sense.  Congratulations to the St. Louis Police Officers Association and the City of St. Louis for working together in good faith.  This deal is far from over, but it looks very hopeful.  Read about it, here.  Whatever your opinion, make your voice heard and call your state senator.  Depending on where you live in Shaw, that’s either Joseph Keaveny or Robin Wright-Jones.  Use the city’s address and property lookup feature to find your appropriate contact.
