Nick Reed PODCAST 02.16.23 - The Problems with St. Louis
Hour 1 - Good Thursday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: For those who are going on our KSGF Great Escape; we have our document party this morning. Make sure to stop by Pasta Express at 5:30 p.m. The House last week passed legislation to allow Gov. Parson to appoint a special prosecutor to handle violent crimes in areas with high homicide rates, such as St. Louis. The AP wrote, "Missouri faith leaders, activists and elected officials on Wednesday decried the Republican-led House for shutting down a Black lawmaker’s speech and passing a bill that could strip power from the Black woman elected as St. Louis prosecutor." So let's talk about why this bill was passed. Nick talks about cases that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s prosecutors dropped the ball on and the multiple accounts of misconduct in the prosecutor's office. A man shot and killed the person who tried to rob him at a gas station just north of downtown St. Louis Wednesday. House Republicans lack unanimous support for legislation to extend the Trump tax cuts because a chunk of GOP lawmakers is objecting to a key provision that limits state and local tax deductions.
