Would You Support Higher Taxes for Arch and Parks Improvements?
One item on your April 2013 ballot might be a plan to raise sales taxes across St. Louis to pay for improvements in area parks and at the Gateway Arch.
When the April 2013 election arrives, you might be asked to vote on a potential hike to sales taxes in the city of St. Louis and both St. Louis and St. Charles counties. Keep this in mind. The increase would be 3/16 of one cent, and would help pay for improvements in area parks and at the Gateway Arch, among other things, reports the St. Louis Beacon. In a Dec. 13 article, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the money collected from the tax increase would be split in the following ways: The Missouri General Assembly approved the tax over the summer, but it still requires regional support across St. Louis, the Post-Dispatch reported. If lawmakers in St. Louis and both counties approve the issue, then it is expected to appear before …

The Final Vote: Electors Cast Missouri's Official Ballot for President
South County Republicans John Judd and Kurt Witzel were two of Missouri's 10 official Electoral College electors. Find out what that means for the election and for Missouri.
When Missouri cast its 10 official Electoral College votes for presidential candidate Mitt Romney Monday, two of those ten voters were from here in South County. Republicans elected two active party members—John Judd, a Republican committeeman working with state Sen. Jim Lembke and Kurt Witzel, of Oakville, also a Republican committeeman—to cast Missouri's final votes. “You are representing the people of the second district, who happened to vote for—by a 55-44 margin—Mitt Romney over President Obama,” Judd said. “So you feel like you’re keeping your word and honoring commitment and representing people.” Judd was also an elector during the 2000 election, when he got to cast a ballot for Republican President George W. Bush, who won the …

Political Rewind: Missouri Minimum Wage Set to Increase
Our weekly roundup of Missouri political stories that hit the media this week.
Editor's Note: The following articles were aggregated from several news organizations in Missouri. Read more about each story by clicking on the headline. Lack of a Republican bench worries Sen. John Lamping (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) Like many Republicans, state Sen. John Lamping of Ladue was disappointed in the election results in Missouri last week. Though Republicans improved their already-strong majority in the Missouri House and retained their two-thirds majority in the Missouri Senate, they lost four of the five races for statewide offices. Lamping, 50, is a relative newcomer to politics. After working in the financial industry in New York and St. Louis, he won the 24th District Missouri Senate seat in St. Louis County two years ago…
