Numerous highways and roads remain dangerous today on this third day following the winter storm that hit us on Sunday. Use extra caution. Some leading Democrats enter the new Congress under scrutiny because many folks see them as being very deceptive for hiding Biden's lack of mental fitness over the past 3 years. The St. Louis County Council heard comments on the proposal to change the County Charter and create a process to fire the County Executive. Some members hope to have a proposal ready for a vote by April.
