State Police Board seeks to limit civilian oversight of officer misconduct in St. Louis With the new state-appointed board now running the city’s police department, civilian review of complaints against St. Louis officers could potentially be on its way out—as the State Board’s lawyer su...

As if stripping E&A of our budget authority wasn't enough, MO Republicans continue to erode the transparency we've fought so hard to build.

This is exactly why I am challenging state control in court. Overreach doesn’t make St. Louis safer—it holds us back.

Congratulations to Action St. Louis and ArchCity Defenders on the grand opening of their new office space—the Northside Movement Center!

I’m excited to see how they continue to grow and serve our community!

As President of the Board and a member of the Board of E&A, I’ll vote NO on any budget proposal beyond the maximum required, and I stand by my decision to fight for local control in the courts.

The City’s budget is already tight, and the Board of Police Commissioners’ proposed funding for SLMPD goes beyond our obligations. Approving it would mean less money for tornado recovery, City worker salaries, our aging infrastructure, and alternative crime reduction strategies that work.

I’ve been saying it for over a year now: state takeover of our police department is and will continue to be catastrophic for St. Louis.

The United States is a country shaped by generations of immigrants.

To highlight that history, I used the latest issue of Deep Dive to dispel common immigration myths and walk through a brief history of the cultures that helped form St. Louis.

As we head into the next legislative session, my top priority is getting Rams money dedicated to North and West St. Louis. For our city to succeed, we can’t leave a third of it behind to fail.

Yes, the gap between what the City can provide and the estimated $2 billion price tag to rebuild is enormous. Yes, the lack of meaningful state and federal support has made recovery harder. That said, we can do something about it with the resources available to us.

We have heard again and again, “The City isn’t set up to provide disaster recovery.”

The Board of Aldermen provided the Office of Recovery with more than $40 million dollars. That money should be getting into the hands of residents who need it most. But bureaucratic hurdles have slowed the process, and our community deserves better.

On Saturday, I attended a People’s Response panel on tornado recovery to hear from those most affected. Nearly a year out, they are still waiting for meaningful help to truly rebuild.

Today, I signed BB 126, authorizing the License Collector to collect the 3% fee on short-term rentals required by Prop S.

The revenue will support the Right to Counsel program and the construction of affordable housing.

The bill now heads to the Mayor’s desk for her signature!

Yesterday, students from WashU’s Civic Action Lab visited City Hall to speak with some aldermen and staff.

It’s always a pleasure to get back to my roots and teach the next generation of leaders why local government is so important.

We hope to see you back here soon!

Today marks the beginning of a shared season of reflection for Christians and Muslims.

Whether you’re breaking fast at sunset or heading to a fish fry, the purpose is the same: to connect with family, friends, and neighbors through fasting, prayer, and service.

Ramadan Mubarak and Happy Lent!

Jesse Jackson birthed a movement that united every corner of the working class—from Black and Brown Americans to working mothers. Living up to our country's highest ideals requires bridging the imaginary lines that divide us.

Today, we mourn the passing and honor the life of a civil rights icon.

As the BOA nears the end of session, it’s important to stay informed on the issues you care about!

Last year, the Mayor signed Executive Order 92 and the Board of Aldermen passed Resolution 111—outlining temporary application requirements for developers seeking to build data centers in the City of St. Louis.

Struggling St. Louis program to repair vacant land bank homes gets boost from aldermen The struggling Prop NS program aimed at repairing vacant homes in the city’s land bank will have more relaxed spending rules under a bill approved by the Board of Aldermen.

On Friday, the Board of Aldermen passed BB 87, sponsored by Ald. Aldridge, updating the Prop NS program to rehab vacant, City-owned homes and get them back on the market.

I'm proud of the work the Board is doing to tackle vacancy and affordability!

On the 50th anniversary of Black History Month, we raised a flag at City Hall to remind us that Black history is American history—not just a chapter of it.

Thank you to Alderwoman Boyd, Alderman Kennedy, and all our Black elected officials for your leadership and all you do for our city.

Today, the BOA perfected BB 87, updating the Prop NS program—which funds the rehabilitation of vacant, City-owned properties.

The bill updates the original legislation by directing funds based on building size rather than type and by mandating that spending caps increase with inflation.
