@saintlouispres Rewarding inefficiency and corruption; good job

Today, the Board of Aldermen passed Board Bill 9, sponsored by Ald. Aldridge and myself, providing a $1,000 lump sum payment to all civil service employees. From refuse collection and park maintenance to filling potholes, our public workers keep St. Louis functioning every single day. They do essential work, often under difficult conditions and without much recognition. In the coming weeks, we also look forward to passing Board Bill 12, which would authorize raises for those same city workers.

@JohnRhinesSTL @0708America That decision has been made; people just need to acknowledge and accept

@0708America At some point, people who live in these communities will either decide to change their lives or be punished for refusing to live in a law-abiding society. If thugs want to live like warlords, leave the US for Haiti, Afghanistan, and the Congo, to name a few.

🙄The taboo subject is the damage,destruction of STL neighborhoods,schools,shopping centers by a population,culture of uncivilized lawless entitled people. When we stop rewarding and funding failed experiments, stop making excuses, hold criminals accountable we can move forward.

@saintlouispres all pissed away

This morning, I joined Mayor Spencer and civic leaders to officially announce Board Bill 22—which allocates the Rams settlement funds. I want to thank our community partners, the Mayor, her staff, department heads, and the entire Board of Aldermen for their collaboration over the last several months. These funds alone will not fully repair St. Louis, but this bill has the potential to bridge longstanding divides in our city through targeted investments in North St. Louis, Downtown, and critical infrastructure. I'm excited to get it across the finish line! For more details—and the opportunity to provide feedback—visit Speak Up, St. Louis at stlouis.govocal.com.

What movie death hit you the hardest? I’ll start: It was supposed to be an exhibition!

@chris_stritzel the problems run deep; until the actual residents care and force change, nothing will happen. Difficult decisions have to be made (as obvious as they are). Make them and enforce them.

Good Thursday morning to everyone, including the haters and losers who continue to write off my hometown of the City of St. Louis, even though local groups, both for- and non-profit and big and small, continue to pump good money into neighborhoods across the City with the goal of slowly making it better (and its actually slowly working). AND QUITE LITERALLY JUST RECENTLY, the State of Missouri pushed forward enhanced incentives that'll help the redevelopment of office buildings into residential buildings all over Missouri (a tax credit program), but the beneficiaries of the legislation more or less limit it to St. Louis and Kansas City because of property size that can make projects worthwhile, and of the two, primarily the City of St. Louis. The bill also allows for employer relocation incentives of up to $5000 per employee relocated into an economic development district, and public safety funds for said designated district (which can be up to 10% of a City's land area). This means that even the haters, who so desperately want the City to die, will be partially incentivizing its own redevelopment. How great! More residents, businesses, and tax revenue will be generated benefiting public safety, infrastructure, parks, zoo-museums district, and schools. You know, the things that make a city, a city and hold the key to success. All the while the haters and losers will continue to kick and scream about how bad the City is despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of those who live in the City love it and want to see it better off. Maybe instead of foaming at the mouth of the idea that the City completely dies and everyone move to your characterless suburbs, and commenting negatively on every single positive news article, or post, about the City, you can actually be positive for once and celebrate the fact that a road to a better future is being created right now. It's not easy work and the general desire of the "anon" haters on this platform, and elsewhere, is not ground in any reality. There's a reason why they need to hide their faces because I totally understand that they'd be embarrassed otherwise. Me though? I'm not embarrassed by what I post because I keep it real. I recognize my hometown has tremendous problems, but no problem is worse than the self-hating, defeatist attitude so many supposed "city residents" have about the City itself. You don't see the same amount of people whining about affairs in Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo or other hard-hit "Rust Belt" cities that fell from grace. It's pretty much a uniquely St. Louis thing and, in particular, only on social media (how convenient that cesspool ideology lingers in the hellish swamp itself). Don't be a hater or a loser. Be positive and be a winner. Maybe then you won't be a sulking mess that seeks to drag everyone down into your rabbit hole of darkness. Bless you all!

@RepLuna @DNIGabbard @CIADirector sounds like a strongly worded letter. The CIA will return the boxes when it is ready.

The CIA has 24 hours to return the documents to Tulsi Gabbard’s office or else I will make a motion to issue a subpoena. These documents have been requested by Congress. @DNIGabbard @CIADirector

@brettboettcher1 can you recommend a low cost alternative?

I challenge you to drink a cup of bone broth everyday for a week. It's a high protein, low calorie snack full of: -Glutamine for immunity and intestinal health -Gelatin for decreasing gut inflammation -Collagen for skin and joint repair You'll never want to go back.

@CindyWinkler @DeplorableChuc3 @jasonriverastl As a former resident, yes it is.

@DeplorableChuc3 @jasonriverastl It’s really NOT a shithole.

Someone just robbed a @RegionsBank in Florissant, MO this morning. Florissant is just outside of St. Louis city limits in St. Louis County.

Is AAA still a thing? Or do most people get those roadside services through their regular car insurance?
