VOTE NO ON
DOTTIE’S RECALL
On Tuesday, April 4th the voters of Ward Seven will be asked to vote on the recall of Dottie Greer. Dottie has done nothing to deserve a recall. According to our Chief of Police the recall petition drive was replete with criminal violations and forgeries. The matter is now in the hands of the St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney for criminal prosecution. This is nothing but an attempt by our Mayor, developers and people who have been on the public dole for years to gain control of the $100 million budget of the City. When the voters of the seventh ward enter the polling booths on April 4th they should vote NO on the recall of Dottie Greer.
Grocery Coming To
Mark Twain Mall
It appears that Aldi Supermarkets will be coming to Mark Twain Mall in the near future. Weekends Only Furniture is closing and some of the space will be taken over by Aldi’s. While we are talking about Mark Twain Mall the latest rumor on the street is that Bass Pro may be moving their super store to St. Clair Square in Fairview Heights, Illinois. Right now it is just a rumor and we are trying to track it down.
CONDEMNATION COMING TO BOONES LICK & FIFTH?
We have been told that local developer Mike Sellenschuetter wants to develop the corner of Boones Lick and Fifth Street where Mary Rents and McDonald’s are located. We understand he wants the City to condemn the other side of Fifth Street and move McDonald's and Mary Rents to that location even though the businesses currently located there are thriving. The proposal is coming forth from Mike Sellenschuetter the developer who is not involved in lawsuits against the City and whose attorney wants a judge to jail Council members. More to come on this later.
WE OCCASIONALLY TAKE TIME OFF
Occasionally we need to take time off. This is a stressful and demanding job but even so, it is something we enjoy. We have many tips we need to follow up on and investigate and occasionally we like to relax and travel. Each time we take a week off we receive calls and e-mails from readers telling us how much they enjoy the First Capitol News and how much they miss it when we don’t print. But, not to worry. You can always keep abreast of daily news of St. Charles by going to firstcapitolnews-today.blogspot.com We will continue to update that web log even when we take a break. Our weekly edition can also be found on our web log at firstcapitolnews.blogspot.com.
