St. Louis County Council

In taking the no-confidence vote, the council joined the Ethical Society of Police and other police reform advocacy organizations in asking for new leadership so the department can address its racism issues.

St. Louis County has had a lot of acrimony lately. Could $190 million from the federal government smooth hard feelings over?

St. Louis County Council Chair Rita Heard Days discusses her hopes and agenda for the council moving forward.

A judge said a prior election making Councilwoman Lisa Clancy chairwoman was invalid because the decisive vote was from a councilwoman whose term had expired.

Some councilmembers were upset that St. Louis County Executive Sam Page hired former Councilwoman Rochelle Walton Gray as vaccine outreach coordinator.

The bill that Page signed on Tuesday, which the St. Louis County Council passed without opposition, would place a prevailing wage enforcement coordinator into county statute.

Attorneys Eric Banks, William Freivogel and Sarah Swatosh discussed matters involving St. Louis' judicial system on St. Louis on the Air's Legal Roundtable. They included a lawsuit against Villa Duchesne, an age discrimination suit filed by a former KMOV meteorologist and a quo warranto action by the St. Louis County counselor's office related to leadership of the St. Louis County Council.

The acrimonious battle to lead the St. Louis County Council is putting a split over St. Louis County Executive Sam Page's job performance into greater focus.

The St. Louis County Council met Tuesday with Rita Days running the meeting while her election as chairwoman is being challenged in court.

Members voted to adjourn after barely 30 minutes, with both Councilwoman Lisa Clancy, D-Maplewood, and Councilman Tim Fitch, R-St. Louis County, claiming the authority to run the meeting.
