It was the first time members of the Public Safety Committee got to hear and give comment on Spencer’s recent ordinance proposal, board bill 29. The bill aims to tackle the proliferation of guns in the city by requiring anyone who openly carries a gun in the city to have a permit or endorsement.
[…]
Spencer says in speaking with the city attorney, she feels confident this bill does not go against state laws so long as it is not infringing upon the rights of people to still own a gun without a permit. However, she plans to take out an existing part of the ordinance dealing with the confiscation of weapons if someone is found in violation of carrying openly without a permit. Instead, officers would temporarily remove the gun and safeguard it and have the opportunity to get it at a later time.
[…]
Other concerns raised by city leaders include whether this ordinance will disproportionally target communities of color, and if it would put officers in even more danger approaching those who are openly carrying a weapon.

Would you believe it? We’ve got some more good news from the Supreme Court on Section 230. Remember that, before Gonzalez v. Google, a few of the Justices seemed to be begging for cases that would let them destroy Section 230. But then they (surprisingly) took the Gonzalez case, had to deal with many dozens […]

A bill that would limit who can open carry guns in St. Louis city has divided leaders at the Board of Aldermen. Ward 8 Alderwoman Cara Spencer previously told the RFT that her Board Bill 29 would require that someone possess a concealed carry permit if they want to openly carry a gun within city limits. She said that Kansas City currently has a similar law on its books and that in St. Louis it could be one of the few ways in to implement gun control in a sate with incredibly lax gun laws.

“If not us, who?” This is a question we frequently ask ourselves when looking at potential redevelopment opportunities. One goal is to strengthen markets to a point when outside developers are incentivized to make investments in renovating properties. However, in some cases and in already strong markets, we take on long vacant properties with complicated pasts and uncertain futures. We understand what it means to live next to or on a block with a blighted property where grass is tall, break-ins are common, and the nuisance is real. 4063 Potomac Ave sat vacant and boarded up on a quiet Tower Grove South neighborhood street for over a decade. The home went to tax sale multiple times, each time the buyer walked away from the property due to a tangled web of title issues due to a bankruptcy and unengaged mortgage holder. TGCDC identified the problem property and contacted Legal Services of Eastern Mo (LSEM). We filed a lawsuit in City court and obtained the right to make improvements to the property to address years of building code violations. Once we completed the exterior repairs, and additional court proceedings were held, TGCDC was given title to the property to complete the full renovation. The property was recently finished and sold to new homeowners. Without TGCDC’s intervention and our partnership with LSEM, 4063 Potomac would continue as a neighborhood nuisance and eventually lost. Now we have a tax generating, renovated home and new stakeholders in our community.
