In a special election edition of The Insider Podcast, hosts Tim Weber, Dan Fox, and Laura Brown discuss the results of recent elections in St. Charles and St. Louis counties. They highlight the victory of "smart growth" candidates in mayoral races, such as Steven Thompson in Cottleville and Keith Weberman in Dardenne Prairie, who emphasized measured development. They also note the defeat of conservative school board candidates in Francis Howell and Wentzville, reflecting a shift towards more moderate governance. Additionally, they discuss the rejection of Proposition B in St. Louis County, which would have allowed the council to fire department heads, and the close vote on Proposition F in Eureka for fire protection funding. The conversation underscores the public's desire for steady, responsible growth and governance.
