St. Louis voters will select representatives for the Board of Aldermen鈥檚 seven odd-numbered wards.

St. Louis Sheriff Alfred Montgomery was caught on tape making Tony Kirchner roll dice for a chance to keep his job. After he was sacked anyway, the former sheriff鈥檚 deputy alleged that the firing was illegal and that it鈥檚 not the only improper termination.

St. Louis had $300 million and 16,000 ideas from the public on how to spend it at the beginning of this legislative session. A year later, the Board of Aldermen has made no progress.

After a little more than two hours of discussion, members did not agree to perfect any bill, instead moving proposals to the board鈥檚 informal calendar.

Over the course of nearly seven-hour committee hearing, members of the Board of Aldermen discussed two visions for the money that are 鈥渃oming closer together.鈥�

Property taxes for senior homeowners in St. Louis will be frozen, thanks to a bill passed Friday by the Board of Aldermen.

The proposal would only apply to the city portion of property taxes and would have limits based on income or total property value. But supporters say every little bit helps.

Aldermen also discussed a bill to prohibit the open carry of firearms, which has encountered several challenges this week.

Green replaces Lewis Reed, who resigned after pleading guilty to federal corruption charges earlier this year.

The 13th Ward alderwoman joined Politically Speaking to talk 鈥淶ooming while driving,鈥� spending the Rams settlement dollars and running for reelection.
