A snippet from a substack article titled "Mayor Spencer’s willingness to throw staff members under the bus is a reflection of her poor leadership"

The snippet reads "Spencer sought to avoid the consequences of her own mistakes and redirected the reporter’s inquiry to one of her cabinet members. This was the first instance of the mayor using one of her subordinates as a human shield for this story."

Mayor Cara Spencer has now twice used a staff member as a human shield for this story, and that is very representative of who she is as a leader.

An excerpt from a Substack Article from Conner Kerrigan titled "How AI is taking over state and local government. The excerpt reads: "A calendar doesn’t critically think for you, and neither does your notebook or a GPS system. These tools are data storage devices and their output is constrained to the user’s input. This is not true for LLMs."

Mind you, this is the same woman who said she had "never" spoken to Bob Clark about data centers.

I don’t think we have the power to stop it, but I do think we have the power to get the mayor and other city officials on-the-record as much as possible so we can have a clear picture of who is responsible if (and when) this data center ultimately hurts, rather than benefits, the city.

My guess for tomorrow’s State of the City speech: Mayor Cara Spencer will announce her proposed regulations around AI data centers in the city. She’ll frame them as a big win for the community, but in reality, they’ll be toothless and unenforceable. Just lip service to keep benefitting developers.

What is Mayor Spencer hiding? Why so much secrecy around the midtown data center?

Chris Graville is a lawyer for the SLMPD Board of Commissioners, and his primary job is to negotiate against the city for the highest possible police budget legally allowed under state law. Chris is paid $275/hour using our tax dollars, but he is explicitly working against our best interests.

When Mayor Spencer chose to drop the City of St. Louis’ lawsuit against the state to block state takeover of the police department, she paved the way for the budgetary crisis the city is now facing.

Mayor @caraspencer.bsky.social may have to do mass layoffs in the streets and refuse departments because of Mike Kehoe's police board of commissioners. To understand why this group has such power over the city budget, watch this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wDL...

Fun fact: almost 40 people have used my Anti-Tax-Scam toolkit to contact their legislators to oppose HJR 174, the Missouri GOP's tax scam. I built this toolkit with @fastdemocracy.com. It's super easy to use. You should reach out to your rep today: bit.ly/NOGOPTaxScam
