KSDK 5: “St. Louis political, community leaders to hold rally for redistricting reform initiative”

“Show Me Integrity, which describes itself as a ‘cross-partisan organization at the frontlines of reforming Missouri politics for a more ethical, effective government’, will unveil its Reform St. Louis ballot initiative Tuesday. According to a press release from the organization, the plan will require financial disclosure statements for aldermen, create an independent commission to redistrict wards and take steps to eliminate conflicts of interest among aldermen.

The ballot initiative has the backing of a number of St. Louis community and political leaders and organizations, including the League of Women Voters of Metro STL, the Black Caucus of the Missouri Democratic Party, Missouri Healthcare for All and former U.S. congressman Dick Gephardt.

The plan is also supported by civil rights leader Reverend Darryl Gray and Alderwoman Christine Ingrassia, both of whom will speak at the rally scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at City Hall.”
