St. Louis budget

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen is expected to vote Thursday to send the measures to Mayor Tishaura Jones. If that happens, it will be the first time the board has approved a budget since 2019.

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen chose not to act on the fiscal 2022 budget after discovering a $5.7 million hole. It marks the second year in a row that aldermen did not pass a spending plan and allowed one approved by a separate board to take effect.

The $4 million in savings would be directed toward victims services, affordable housing, homeless services and a legal department to prosecute civil rights violations.

Closing the north St. Louis jail is a top policy priority for Mayor Tishaura Jones.
