Deleted previous tweet to thread correctly.

An absolutely wonky addendum to the previous info dump.

Based on the #stlboa's own rules, they might run into a timing issue to get the bill to the mayor on Friday.
After a bill is perfected (get 1st round approval), it goes to something called the Committee on Engrossment.
Ordinarily, a bill can go on the 3rd reading (final passage) calendar at the next scheduled meeting of the board - except when there's been amendments.
Three 24-hour-periods from when the bill is perfected takes us to Saturday (Wed-Thurs is one, Thurs-Fri is two, Fri-Sat is three). But the meeting is scheduled for Friday.

I could see someone who is not happy with the map challenging the process.
Adding - we know there has to be amendments because they need to add the ward numbers. Forgot that point.

Welcome back everyone! I'm hydrated, caffeinated, got my typing fingers all warmed up, and am ready to bring you the December 8, 2021 #stlboa meeting.
I'm not sure I really want to know how much this meeting is going to delay the start of my vacation, so we're not even going to play that game.
In addition to the remap perfection, we've got 1st round approval of the Downtown CID on tap.

Good morning everyone - it's #stlboa ward map perfection day! Live-tweet coming later. I didn't actually eat my Wheaties, but my husband promised me Gioia's for lunch, so I've got that going for me.
(Side note, it still feels really weird to say husband.)

Anyways ... here's a rundown of some of the key things as the alders move to reduce their ranks from 28 to 14.
City counselor Sheena Hamilton released an opinion yesterday that the map, in her opinion, passes constitutional muster. She notes that while it would be possible to draw a majority AAPI or Hispanic ward, it would not be compact.

Good morning everyone. Happy normal #stlboa day.
Genuinely not sure what's on tap today, so I'll tweet as we get there. Possibilities include first round budget approval and final passage of a vote to reverse the residency requirement.
.@PresReed's bill on privatizing @flystl is on 2nd reading today.

BREAKING - Cole County judge Richard Callahan (former U.S. atty for EDMO), has blocked the enforcement of parts of #MO photo ID law.

Callahan - "the Court finds, with one important exception, that the voting scheme adopted by the General Assembly is within its constitutional prerogative."
That one exception is the affidavit you had to sign if using non-photo ID like utility bill.
Essentially, Callahan says, the language of the affidavit makes it sound like you HAVE to have a photo ID to vote when in reality, you can vote using non-photo ID and signing the affidavit.
SO.
