ROXANA - Firefighters responded quickly to a fire in the 300 block of Rohm Place in Roxana around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, then extinguished the fire and pulled a dog to safety. Roxana Fire Chief Daryl Trask said he appreciated the quick response of all concerned. “The fire appeared to start in the back porch area,” he said. “With our mutual aid of Wood River and South Roxana, we were all there in a couple of minutes. We had a great response.” There was no one home at the time of the fire, but firefighters pulled out a dog in its crate and the dog was not injured.

He thanked the other fire departments for their constant assistance and said the mutual aid agreements are "priceless" to each community.

It seems many of those problems persist and are allegedly the fault of a “family” of St. Louis County jail administrators who stymie reform at the institution. In May, Phillip Duvall resigned from the St. Louis County Justice Services Advisory Board — the third board member to do so in 14 months — stating that “the family” was blocking the board's efforts to hold bad actors in the jail to account.
In the Washington Monthly, Paul Glastris writes about regulation and monopolies: Federal regulation is not a hindrance to freedom or prosperity but bulwarks of both. Unfortunately, [in the early '80s], leaders of both parties adopted a contrary set of ideas, dubbed “neoliberalism”: that deregulating markets was the key to economic growth. Wait. The Monthly is ...continue reading "Washington Monthly goes medieval on neoliberalism"
