St. Louis City

Aldermen at Monday’s hearing mostly asked broader questions about the legislation, wanting to know more about the mechanisms for neighborhood development, provisions for city workers and new child care programs.

“Every neighborhood deserves to benefit from this investment,” St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones said.

St. Louis argues in its lawsuit that the law legislators passed in 2021 violates the state’s constitution by creating an unfunded mandate for the city and for containing too many unrelated provisions.

The lawsuit takes issue with the changes the proposition would make and the way it was proposed to voters.

St. Louis Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed announced he will run for mayor in the 2021 election.
