Corrigan’s first question to the audience was, “Are you proud of your St. Louis County Government?” The answer was a resounding “NO.”
He pointed out that St. Louis County is a lawyer’s “Field of Dreams.”
Just a few of the comments and remarks heard during the 75 minute session included:· We will have ethics in St. Louis County Government.
· The St. Louis violent crime rate has increased 44% over the previous year.
· The St. Louis County crime lab is over 50 years old and that a new crime lab is desperately needed.
· Corrigan said he is against a merger with the City of St. Louis.
· He said more collaboration is needed between the City and all other municipalities.
· All too often government settles for mediocrity and not excellence.
· The County Council meetings are a joke.
· A line item on the County Council agenda is a report from the County Executive. All too often the report is “No Report.” Reference to the current Executive was “Charlie ‘No Report’ Dooley.”
· South County is a cash cow to St. Louis County.
· The county’s trash program was miserably mishandled and may get worse before it gets better - and maybe not before the three pending lawsuits are settled. This could be well after the November 2010 election.
· We need an elected official as Assessor and the "ENTIRE" system of the Real Estate Taxes to be reformed.
. The county executive cannot be allowed to manipulate the Police Board to replace the Chief of Police.

I have been being harrassed about a utility trailer and an F-250 being parked on the street. I have moved them, but continue to receive letters and visits from the police. At this point, I'm convinced someone is complaining out of spite. I feel you are facilitating this harrassment. If it continues, I will file a complaint against the Towne South Homeowners Association with the police, and I will find every infraction in the subdivision and file a complaint about each and every one until they are made complient with the same rules that you have so eloquently pointed out to me.
ReplyDeleteThere is a work van and utility trailer parked at 5074 Kempf Drive in front of the building line and not on a pad. Please do something...I'm tired of looking at it.
ReplyDeleteThe van and trailer at 5074 Kempf not on a pad is a county problem. Report this to St. Louis County as a violation. Good luck.
