The St. Louis American: “St. Louisans to cast vote on Prop R in April special election”

“After turning in over 38,000 petition signatures last month, Reform St. Louis has successfully triggered a special election April 5 for city residents to cast their vote on the charter amendment. 

‘We are proud that Proposition R for Reform will be on a 2022 ballot for more transparency, accountability, and equity at the Board of Aldermen,’ LaShana Lewis, Show Me Integrity board member, said in a prepared statement last week once the signatures were counted but the election date yet to be determined.

Proposition R also includes a host of other reforms, such as decreasing the influence of big money by stopping aldermanic conflicts of interest; preventing the Board of Aldermen from overriding the will of voters; and ensuring the public knows if an alderman has a personal conflict of interest in something they are voting on.”
