Politically Speaking: Sen. Chappelle-Nadal On Education, Guns, And Sinquefield's $1.3 Million Push

Erin Williams, St. Louis Public Radio.

Every week, St. Louis Public Radio’s Chris McDaniel joins the St. Louis Beacon’s Jo Mannies and Jason Rosenbaum to talk about the week’s politics.

On this week's show: Jo is out on vacation, but we are joined by Democratic Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal. She discusses the Normandy School District busing students to Francis Howell, as well as guns and gangs in St. Louis. During the show, libertarian billionaire Rex Sinquefield disclosed a whopping $1.3 million donation to a group pressuring lawmakers to over-ride Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of an income tax bill. Chappelle-Nadal discusses her view of Missouri's biggest campaign contributor, and the story of how she met him.
