9:05 – 9:22 (17mins)   David Stokes, Director of Municipal Policy at the Show-Me Institute, @DavidCStokes @ShowMeShowMeInstitute.org to discuss:  1. Route for bus rapid transit line gets key approval: You guys have discussed this story a lot with David in the past. [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://showmeinstitute.org/article/transportation/green-means-stop/&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1782883525252122&usg=AOvVaw04w7BNK4dE2uc97vEEiMjm] The city's first dedicated bus lanes are a step closer to reality with a key endorsement on Wednesday. The board of the East-West Gateway Council of Governments unanimously approved the 11.5-mile route. That allows the city and the Bi-State Development Agency — which runs Metro Transit — to continue planning and begin engineering for the so-called bus rapid transit line. The route, called the Green Line, would link south St. Louis via Jefferson Avenue to downtown, then take Tucker Boulevard and North Florissant Avenue to the north side. Whether the line will ever be built will depend on winning federal grants needed to pay for the bulk of the cost, estimated at $360 million to $590 million.

What if you eliminated personal property taxes and nobody noticed?

Local governments could raise real property taxes to offset the loss, and even if a county acted unilaterally, it controls only about 5% of a typical tax bill, making the savings minimal without school district participation.     9:25 – 9:37 (12mins) Larry Conners   Weekly: "Mr. Conner's Neighborhood  @LarryConnersUSA   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
