UNIVERSITY CITY — A proposal to demolish Pershing and Barbara C. Jordan elementary schools and replace them with new schools has sharply divided the community and is under attack by historic preservation groups.
The plans are part of a $53.6 million bond issue proposal on the ballot April 7.
The money also would be used to renovate four other schools: Jackson Park and Flynn Park elementary schools, Brittany Woods Middle School and University City High School. School officials say some of the buildings are becoming decrepit and students need more up-to-date facilities. Read more from STLToday
Automotive genius and economic expert, Barack Obama, has fired GM CEO, Rick Wagoner.
From Fox News:
GM CEO Rick Wagoner is stepping down immediately, sources told FOX Business on Sunday, and is being succeeded by the company’s Chief Operating Officer, Fritz Henderson.
GM declined to comment on the reports about Wagoner’s resignation.
A White House official told FOX Business that Wagoner was asked by the Administration to step down as a precondition for the company to continue to get help with its restructuring.
With a University City School bond about to be paid off, the school board has chosen to completely tear down two school buildings and rebuild them. Instead of passing this savings on to the citizens, the board proposes this new construction and the related capital expense.
The school board states that disrepair of the buildings is the reason for this action. However, the question is, why have these buildings not been properly maintained?
Considering the state of the economy, a tax savings to the citizens would be very helpful.
Last night the City Council voted to support the issue.
Washington -- President Barack Obama's budget would generate unsustainably large deficits averaging almost $1-trillion a year over the next decade, according to the latest congressional estimates. The Congressional Budget Office figures predict Mr. Obama's budget will produce $9.3-trillion worth of red ink over 2010-2019. That's $2.3-trillion worse than the White House predicted in its budget. Worst of all, the CBO says the deficit under Mr. Obama's policies would never go below 4 per cent of the size of the economy, figures that economists agree are unsustainable. By the end of the decade, the deficit would exceed 5 per cent of gross domestic product, a dangerously high level. The figures could imperil efforts to enact Mr. Obama's budget.

During their last meeting, the St. Louis County Republican Central Committee members voted to support County Councilman Greg Quinn’s call for lower property assessments than currently offered.
While property values have been increasing 10% annually in some areas, County Executive Charlie Dooley proposed and passed a onetime 9% reduction in property assessments. Since it is apparent that property values have fallen from 25 to 30 percent, a 9 percent reduction seems manipulative at best.
State Senator Jane Cunningham, R-Chesterfield, thinks that if property values went up 22 percent in 2007, they should drop by that or more this year. However, the county is resisting such a drop. In a recent development, not only are county property assessments dropping very slowly, commercial property values are, according to the county, on the rise.
The Republican Central Committee will support Quinn in addressing these manipulative moves.
