Stltoday - St. Louis aldermanic candidate files suit alleging competitor is lax on taxes

https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/gov ... 93265.html

It’s a long shot and then there are questions of what happens next if she is removed, does Bosley get added and have 2 weeks to campaign. Judge will most likely rule by Tuesday

Stltoday - St. Louis alderman says election challenger ineligible, alleges residency, tax issues

Not sure on what grounds you would sub in Bosley, I don't think Missouri law would allow it.

Percy Green lambasts their endorsement of Browning over Pihl in the 9th.

I'm not as big of a Pihl hater as other people on this forum, but that argument from Percy Green is so ridiculously policy free and elitist. Vote for one candidate cuz she went to Yale, MIT. The other guy is angry. Nothing about the issues, what these alders could do or not do for their constituents. 

I think that is secondary to the race angle for Mr. Green.

For those interested

Very interesting, thanks for throwing those together!

StlToday - Big changes are coming for St. Louis aldermen. Will they make the city better?

Apparently Ann Dorn--who spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention--was the moderator of a debate in the 1st Ward.

I didn't attend but heard from multiple sources that she expressed her opinion about Kim Gardner in one of the questions. 

Both candidates in this race--Anne Schweitzer and Tony Kirchner--have expressed that Gardner should resign, but isn't being impartial and not infusing your opinion Debate Moderating 101? 

Not in 2023.

Dang Pihl got trounced. Would've thought she'd win based on all the people she had standing right outside the polls.

You could quibble with some of the determinations I made here but taken in with Lewis Reed being replaced by Megan Green, the orientation of the Board has inarguably shifted to the left in the a significant way.

I wouldnt call Spencer a progressive nor conservative, probably moderate

Her mayoral campaign was just about as left oriented as Jones'.
