St. Louis, MO – Voters in a handful of local elections were not very giving on Tuesday.
They rejected five fire districts in St. Louis County who were asking for more money.
A sales tax question in Jennings did pass. But a sales tax question for a new recreation center in Lincoln County did not.
Keith Schildroth won a seat on the Florissant City Council over Jonathan Hart.
Voter turnout was light.
