Anyone in STL who's been spreading that the City can freely convert the Metro Green Line fund from light rail to bus rapid transit has been ✨️lying to your face✨️ because they ✨️wouldn't need to put it on the ballot if they could already do it✨️. FUCK BRT, give us the light rail expansion we VOTED FOR!

*New* Testify on Putting Bus Rapid Transit on the Ballot

October 8 @ 10 AM, City Hall Kennedy Hearing Room or Zoom

Board Bill 59, if passed, would put a proposition on the April 6, 2027 ballot to ask voters to change the allowable uses of an existing 1/2 cent sales tax. In short, can transit tax dollars originally collected for the Green Line light rail proposal be used instead for Bus Rapid Transit or other mass transit?

The parts that matter: 1. Your utilities bills are FUCKED. 2. Green calls these regulations "some of the strongest in the country." Saint Louisans are getting screwed, and the developers dogwalking Spencer, Green, and the Alders are bypassing these "regulations" punishment-free.

However, Schweitzer warned the new zoning rules won’t protect city residents from rising energy costs and other impacts.

"What the bill doesn't do, though, it doesn't stop data centers from being allowed in the city of St. Louis. It doesn't prevent every single harm that could be caused by data centers,” she said. "It doesn't protect ratepayers from the increases in their utility bills that we should expect by data centers and other large energy users proliferating in our society and in our state."

Board of Aldermen President Megan Green called the rules some of the strongest data center regulations in the country.

“We’ve made it clear to developers that St. Louis not only expects new data centers to run on renewable energy, we also expect them to invest their resources in the expansion of clean energy infrastructure and to innovate in ways that protect the air we breathe and the water we drink,” she said in a statement.

A breakdown on Amendment 4 and Amendment 5, and why, unquestionably, the only reasonable vote on both is NO.

Mailer: "Know the Facts About Amendment 4 and Amendment 5"

Amendment 4
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
• Modify current requirements that a statewide majority of voters may approve initiative petitions to amend the constitution;
• Require a majority of voters in each congressional district to approve initiative petitions to amend the constitution; and
• Make available to each voters the full text of initiative petitions with their ballot?

Voting Yes on Amendment 4
• Will require a citizen-proposed initiative to receive a majority in each congressional district and a majority statewide to pass. If it loses in one district, it loses in them all.
• Current laws penalizing the acceptance of foreign contributions and engaging in fraud when collecting signatures on petitions will be added to the constitution.

Voting No on Amendment 4
• keeps the current citizen initiative process in place, requiring a majority vote statewide.
• Current laws penalizing the acceptance of foreign contributions and engaging in fraud when collecting signatures on petitions will remain in statute, but not be added to the constitution.

Mailer: "Know the Facts About Amendment 4 and Amendment 5"

Amendment 5
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
• Require legislative phase-out of the individual state income tax based on revenue growth, and authorize the expansion of sales and use taxes;
• Curtail constitutional limits on taxing goods and services; and
• Require local tax rate cuts without reduced school funding if local sales tax revenue increases?

Voting Yes on Amendment 5
• Will require the legislature to reduce and eliminate the state income tax and allow it to replace the funds with new and higher sales taxes.
• Will lift the cap on sales taxes rates from the Missouri Constitution and allow the legislature to raise sales taxes without a vote by Missourians.

Voting No on Amendment 5
• Will maintain the current balance between income taxes and sales taxes to fund Missouri's state government.
• will maintain the current cap on sales taxes in the Missouri Constitution and prohibit new sales taxes on services without a vote by Missourians.

This is a good article, and you should read it, but here's the only line of the article you need to make your decision: "Bell rejected accusations that Israel is committing genocide." Bell has coincidentally taken $17M from the pro-genocide lobby since 2024 – and that's as of Feb! Vote Cori Bush.

Bell is up to $17M cumulative in pro-Israel blood money as of Feb 2026 – and that's before any of this cycle truly kicked off. The same guy who sicced private security guards on town hall attendees when they called him on his pro-genocide policies back in 2025. From MO-01: throw him out on his ass.

a good, digestible, easy-to-understand summary of why establishment Dems are getting the boot from progressives

Establishment Democrats lost the 2024 and 2016 presidential elections, handing control of government to Republicans. They couldn’t prevent Republicans from stealing a seat on the Supreme Court, helping lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. They failed to stop President Trump from sending masked federal agents into the streets or giving billionaires tax breaks. Some of them backed supplying weapons to military campaigns that have killed civilians abroad, while in the United States everyday people struggled to meet basic needs such as housing and food.

They have also alienated their own voters over many years by stifling competition and dissent within the party, from the Democratic National Committee’s attempted undermining of Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential bid to the White House staff’s efforts in 2024 to hide President Joe Biden’s obvious signs of aging from voters.

This was in February. Track AIPAC isn't perfect, but you can't exactly pull these kind of numbers out of nowhere, can you – kinda like how you can't be cut as a villain in a reality show if you aren't acting shitty.
