By Dee Baebler Sunset Hills Ward 1 Alderman Did you know Sunset Hills has never had a woman in the position of president of the Board of Aldermen? I have enjoyed my tenure on the board since 2010. Getting to know so many residents in this city that I love has been rewarding and a
[ Read More ]Letter to the Editor To the editor: Your Feb. 7 edition says Steve Stenger would be “King Steve” under a city-county merger. I disagree. King Steve would be a pawn to King Rex, the know-it-all. In previous editions, other cities were mentioned about the success of merging municipalities. Has anybody heard of Chicago, ruled by
[ Read More ]Letter to the Editor To the editor: I predicted that if the voters elected Steve Stenger as county executive, his first order of business would be to shove the city-county merger down the throats of the citizens. When will the citizens of the county realize that liberal Democrats (Stenger, Mayor Lyda Krewson) and others are

Politicals would have us believe that this is about saving money. The city has no water meters, and city water is a flat rate, along with the bill for the Metropolitan St. Louis

Andrew Koenig, one of the senators who represents South County, believes that newspapers are an “outdated, archaic form of communication.” It probably comes as no surprise that we strongly disagree and see newspapers as a living, breathing part of American culture and life. But thanks for your input, Senator. We invite you to

In response to the article in the Feb. 7 edition of The Call, there are many disturbing aspects to the Better Together plan. The article states that many of the recommendations for the the plan came from the “Forward Through Ferguson” report. Most
[ Read More ]Letter to the Editor To the editor: The last chance to “save” St. Louis County was when Republicans enjoyed a clear majority in the County Council. They didn’t “pull the trigger.” Now we face dramatic shortfalls in tax revenue, the need for more subsidizing of public services, another layer of government to be imposed on
[ Read More ]Letter to the Editor To the editor: I find it hard to believe that Trump still has some supporters, even after his revolting behavior. He’s bragged about groping female genitalia.
