Voters across Missouri will get the chance to shift power from the capitol to the St. Louis mayor's office. Aaron Cummins has more from Jefferson City--
A constitutional amendment to give the city more control over certain government offices is on its way to a vote of the people, after the House passed the measure by a 3 to 1 margin.
But, St. Louis city Representative O.L. Shelton says he doesn't like the provision in the law that makes the circuit attorney an elected position... while other offices stay as appointed posts.
Some supporters of the proposal agree with Shelton, but they say getting this plan to voters is far better than doing nothing at all.
From the state capital, Aaron Cummins, KMOX-News.
A plan that would increase the power of the St. Louis mayor's office is on its way to a vote of the people after it cleared the Missouri House today/Thursday. Aaron Cummins has the story--
It's a measure aimed at streamlining government in Missouri's largest city, taking control away from the capital and giving it to St. Louis officials.
The biggest source of debate on the House floor centered on a part of the plan that would make the circuit attorney an elected position while other offices stay appointed.
St. Louis city Representative O.L. Shelton...
Voters across Missouri will decide on the plan in November 2002.
