On Monday and Tuesday, St. Louis on the Air aired conversations that took place during a free public forum this past week (the evening of Oct. 24).
The event offered attendees insight into four of the big decisions Missouri voters face this fall, featuring in-depth discussions with proponents and opponents of several key issues on the November 2018 ballot.
Host Don Marsh moderated the conversations, and audience members had an opportunity at the event to submit questions for potential inclusion in the dialogue.
