Milford parents are outraged after two motions to restore education funding didn't get the votes needed to pass. Ten votes were needed during the Board of Aldermen meeting to restore full or partial funding back to the schools and both failed to get the votes. Now the Board of Education has to decide where to make up that money in a meeting, including potentially closing a middle school or firing educators. We spoke with Kara Flannery of the Milford Ed Advocates group about the latest financial cuts to Milford schools. For more information: https://milfordedadvocates.org/ IMAGE CREDIT: Eric Urbanowicz

Early voting is underway for St. Louis' municipal primary. In addition to the races for the offices of mayor and comptroller, there are competitive primaries to represent the Third and Eleventh Wards at the Board of Aldermen. St. Louis Public Radio's Rachel Lippmann introduces us to the legislative candidates.

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen enter their spring elections break this week with no agreement on how to spend nearly $300 million of Rams settlement money. St. Louis Public Radio reporter Eric Schmid covered the whole saga and joins STLPR's Jason Rosenbaum to discuss what happened.

Members of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen this week chose to end discussions on allocating $294 million in Rams settlement money without any agreement. They likely will not resume consideration of any spending proposals until after board elections this spring. STLPR economic development reporter Eric Schmid discusses the twists and turns of the Rams saga including now-retracted assertions that aldermen were drinking on the job.

On the latest episode of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air, STLPR's Jason Rosenbaum and Eric Schmid discussed the deadlock over how to split up a settlement emanating from the departure of the St. Louis Rams. Rosenbaum also talks with new Missouri Republican Party Chairman Peter Kinder about his plans for keeping the state party strong. And Rosenbaum discusses the state of the media with NPR's Steve Inskeep.

Hancock and Kelley joined Chris and Amy for the first hour as they do every Friday, and discussed the Board of Aldermen's meeting to decide the Rams settlement money, the potential state takeover of the city police department, and how St. Louis is struggling under current leadership.

In this special episode we cover the last two days of the Peasants Revolt of June 1381- the destruction and carnage of the previous few days is dwarfed by the mayhem that is to follow; the Archbishop of Canterbury is hacked apart before a baying crown; scores of foreigners are massacred in the streets and the young king forced to hide out in a house in Blackfriars, as the city descends into utter chaos. But quietly, and behind the scenes, the Aldermen of London began flexing their muscles. From saving large numbers of Germans, to orchestrating the plan to kill the rebel leader, this is a story of how the Mayor and his allies were to emerge triumphant in the face of absolute horror.

June 1381- and the peasants revolts slams into London… but what really happened on those crowded and violent streets. The Story of London finally gets to examine the opening part of a terrible few days, where we see far from being angry yokels falling upon an unsuspecting city, rather it is the residents of London who use this as an excuse to settle old scores. From neighbour turning on neighbour in Southwark, from the suburbs of Smithfield, to the Temple and the Savoy, London erupted in flame and destruction, as buildings were set alight, torn down and people murdered.Yet what role did the Mayor and Aldermen play in all of this? Stalwarts opposed to the violence? Secret facilitators? Or men trying to thread an impossible needle, desperately seeking to stay one jump ahead of the terrible violence?

Alderman Timothy Sullivan proposed the ordinance that made it illegal for proprietors or managers of hotels, restaurants, and other public places to allow women to smoke on their premises. Despite public opposition, the New York City Board of Aldermen voted for it ...

In the last episode we saw how the ‘Stapler' faction of London's Aldermen had betrayed the ‘Radicals' and gained the concessions they wanted from Parliament, but refused to support the Radicals demand for the return of London's traditional rights. And this leads to a political backlash.Welcome to an episode that drags us into the heart of explosive politics, as political control swung from one faction to another, as the very way the city picked its leaders was changed drastically, and the intrigue and politics was played out over a backdrop of riots, insults, executions, and salacious comments about a Prince's heritage. Welcome to the most intense internal civil war the city had seen since the Magna Carta, a place where the city itself was said to be ‘armed, arrayed in red and white'.

Thom Clark is one of the few who has been around long enough to distinguish reformers from deformers. And so he contemplates the current state of the city council, filled with aldermen and women who swear up and down they're looking out for the taxpayers. Don't laugh, listeners--you elected them. Also, a few words about standing up to Trump. Thom Clark is, among other things, a writer, editor, photographer, organizer and teacher of wannabe journalists and activists who want to win coverage from journalists.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Chicago City Council unanimously voted down Mayor Brandon Johnson's proposed $300 million property tax hike in a special meeting Thursday. Aldermen voted 50-0 on the hike without any debate. It was meant to help close a budget gap of nearly $1 billion.

Below is from WLBT's website story about the city of Ridgeland banning Kratom effective immediately RIDGELAND, Miss. (WLBT) - Another municipality is joining the long list of cities and counties that have banned the use and sale of Kratom. On Tuesday, the Ridgeland mayor and Board of Aldermen approved a measure banning the drug in the city limits. Because the measure was passed unanimously, it goes into effect immediately, Mayor Gene McGee said. “It can be something that can be dangerous, particularly for young people not knowing what they're getting into. We really needed to get it off the shelves,” he said. McGee said in about 10 days, the Ridgeland Police Department will begin working with businesses to pull the substance. “A week or two after they ask them to do that, then if someone continues to have it on their shelves, selling it, that sort of thing, they'll be written tickets,” he said. Meanwhile, officials in the city of Madison say they're likely going to take action to ban Kratom as well. “I anticipate the city of Madison will put an ordinance before the board very soon,” said City Attorney Chelsea Brannon. “We were waiting to see what the Legislature did to make sure we didn't do anything contrary [to state statute].” Kratom comes from a tropical tree in Southeast Asia. Based on the dosage, the consumption of Kratom leaves can serve as a stimulant or a sedative. The substance largely is sold at convenience stores, vape, and CBD shops, according to Drug Enforcement Agency data. At least a dozen counties and more than two dozen cities have banned the substance across the state, including Gluckstadt back in 2022. Since implementing the ordinance, Gluckstadt Police Chief Barry Hale said the city has had few violations. “We did have one store that we found was [selling] it. We went and talked with them and worked with them, and they took it out, but as far as having to cite anybody or anything like that, we have not,” he said. Despite being banned on the local level, Kratom is not banned in the state. Months following a WLBT investigation, at least eight pieces of legislation were introduced during the 2024 legislation session to address the drug, but none of them passed.
