A reader has suggested that fare evasion is a good measure of the low-level disorder I wrote about yesterday. Maybe! And in New York City it's way up: I'm of three minds on this. On the one hand, it's obviously a symptom of low-level lawbreaking, and it's not really pandemic related. Fare evasion did spike ...continue reading "Civic disorder follow-up: The case of fare evasion"
JERSEYVILLE - Sgt. Mitch Reynolds has officially retired from the Jerseyville Police Department, capping off a law enforcement career of over 25 years as he transitions to a new role as Jersey County Circuit Clerk. Reynolds was honored at Tuesday’s Jerseyville City Council meeting, where council members approved his retirement letter after Mayor Kevin Stork read it aloud. In the letter, Reynolds reflected on the longevity and impact of his law enforcement career, which began on June 21, 1999. “It has been my privilege to work for and in my hometown,” Reynolds wrote in his retirement letter. “I have worked under seven different mayors and three different chiefs of police. I have trained 25 different probationary police officers during my 20 years of ranking as sergeant.” Reynolds also thanked his community, adding he feels “honored to be a small part of the history of Jerseyville,” as well as his family for their continued support. &ldqu

Missouri state Rep.-elect Nick Kimble didn’t have to go through an arduous primary or general election to get to Jefferson City.
The St. Louis Democrat ran unopposed in the primary to succeed state Rep. Donna Baringer in Missouri’s 82nd House District, which takes in a southwest portion of the city. That basically sealed Kimble’s election since the district is heavily Democratic.
But as Kimble noted on a recent episode of the Politically Speaking podcast, the 82nd District features perhaps the largest concentration of Republicans in the city of St. Louis. And that gives him a different perspective on how to represent the area in Jefferson City.
“Growing up in the district, I knew a lot of those Republicans,” Kimble said. “I went to school with them. I was friends with their kids, I mowed their lawn, I delivered pizzas. So I think that helps. I consider myself a center left and moderate person. I don't go around to the fish fries or various things on the Hill in South City talking about partisan issues or partisan politics.”
