We're joined by Michael Butler, candidate for Mayor of St. Louis, on the Marc Cox Morning Show, as he lays out his vision for transforming the city. Starting with a crucial proposal to set aside $400,000 annually for snow removal, Michael emphasizes the need to address critical infrastructure issues, especially when it comes to side street plowing during winter storms. He slams the current administration for its failed approach, stating that the people of St. Louis deserve better. The conversation turns to crime, with Michael detailing his plan to build a stronger, more equipped police force. He advocates for aggressive raises for police officers and is calling on the state to contribute to funding, rejecting the notion of a state takeover of the St. Louis Police Department. Tackling infrastructure, Michael proposes using RAM settlement money to address public safety and infrastructure improvements. He also addresses the growing problem of homelessness, emphasizing compassionate solutions that integrate mental health and substance abuse services, with an eye toward offering permanent housing options for those in need. With crime and public safety concerns top of mind for many residents, Michael's candidacy offers an alternative to the current administration, with clear action plans to improve the city's future. If you care about the future of St. Louis, this is one episode you don't want to miss.
