Hi there. Youre obviously interested in being an informed voter come April 4.

We want to
help. St. Louis on the Air has arranged interviews with proponents and opponents of large
ballot measures in the City of St. Louis and Saint Louis County. Weve also aired interviews
with the candidates for Mayor of St. Louis & Mayor of Ferguson. Youll find those below too.

You can find all of St. Louis Public Radios election coverage here:

Article XV of the City Charter repealing Sections 4 and 5 and enacting in lieu thereof four new sections, Sections 4, 4a, 4b and 5, the
purpose of which is to abolish the Office of Recorder of Deeds and consolidate the functions of that office with that of the Assessor,
and place any realized cost savings in a special fund known as "the police body-worn camera fund" dedicated to the purchase and

authorizing and directing the issuance of general obligation bonds of The City of St. Louis, Missouri, not to exceed $40,000,000
principal amount in aggregate (of which no more than $6,000,000 in principal amount shall be issued annually) for the purpose of

Proposition 1 (City of St. Louis): Shall the City of St. Louis impose a sales tax at a rate of one half of one percent for economic
development purposes including (1) North/South Metrolink, (2) neighborhood revitalization, (3) workforce development; (4) public
safety, and (5) to upgrade the city's infrastructure, with annual public audits? Pro/con: http://bit.ly/Prop1ProCon

Proposition 2 (City of St. Louis): Shall the use tax paid by businesses on out-of-state purchases and derived from the one half of one
percent increased use tax, which corresponds to approval and levy of an Economic Development Sales Tax in the City of St. Louis, be
used for the purposes of minority job training and business development programs, and a portion of construction costs, but not
construction cost overruns, of a multipurpose stadium for soccer, local amateur sports, concerts and community events? A use tax is
the equivalent of a sales tax on purchases from out-of-state sellers by in-state buyers and on certain taxable business transactions
for which a sales tax is not levied. No taxpayer is subject to a sales tax and a use tax on the same transaction. The City shall be
required to make available to the public an audited comprehensive financial report detailing the management and use of the portion
of the funds each year. Pro/con: http://bit.ly/Prop2ProCon

Proposition P (St. Louis County): Shall St. Louis County impose a one-half of one percent sales tax for the purpose of providing funds
to improve police and public safety in St. Louis County and each of the municipalities within St. Louis County?
