Who doesn’t like the zoo and museums, I see them as bright spots in a mediocre metro area.
Dear Lisa: there is no St Louis region about which to ‘think’ The dirty deals in the core for 40 years killed the core, people are fleeing, Wentzville will be the center of the new region the west, o’Fallon or Edwardsville to the East. The City will land on your head very quickly. I had a different plan on a different road – and they said: No. Living in your district, my request is end the theft of our tax money by the money-bloated, tax sheltering Zoo and Museums. Let us put that 70 Million a year in play as we see fit.
Congrats! and now please help stop McBride & Sons from continuing to rape SoCo and destroy what little green space that’s left. Their plan for Tower Tee is disgusting….
Ho’okaika’i ‘ana!
Can we get our streets fix now? (Big Bend, Clayton Rd.)
I am certain that Lisa will work hard on this issue, but unfortunately Stenger is still going to be in office and I have no reason to believe that he won’t continue these games:

“We have always been concerned that road repairs might be delayed to shake down contractors for campaign contributions,” Page said. He said Stenger, who rarely attends County Council meetings these days, had not let the council know of the state suspension of federal aid for road projects, no matter how short it was. Page responded to records shared with him by the Post-Dispatch.
“Now we finally understand why bad roads can’t get repaired on time,” he said.
What a fine person and a great campaign. Gives me hope
.
Hallelujah !!
Congratulations, Lisa!
