Good morning everyone. Happy Tuesday from City Hall. Image Why yes, that is the #stlboa chambers. They added a special meeting this week to get bills moving ahead of sine die. This is the second to last meeting before the election break.

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.

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.

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.

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.

BREAKING - Cole County judge Richard Callahan (former U.S. atty for EDMO), has blocked the enforcement of parts of #MO photo ID law.
bit.ly/2OgAhW7 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.
