Yard signs on my drive home from the grocery store were mostly Biden

Voice of the people: Action on curbing Page's power delayed by thousands of public comments on virus

CLAYTON — Before the St. Louis County Council could take action Tuesday night on controversial bills curbing County Executive Sam Page’s and the health department’s authority to issue emergency orders during the COVID-19 pandemic, the public weighed in with prepared emailed comments.

Two thousand, two hundred and thirty comments.

The number of comments — likely a record for any council meeting — reflected a roiling power struggle between Republicans on the council and Page, a Democrat, over the county’s public health measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

At previous meetings, facing hundreds of comments, council members voted to limit the public comment period to two hours. But no such limit was set Tuesday night.

'We've Done Everything We Can': Small-Business Owners Struggle With Decision To Close

Tens of thousands of small businesses across the country have closed their doors permanently as the coronavirus pandemic drags on.

Some owners weathered shutdowns in the spring, a host of new restrictions and a drop in customers over the last 6½ months — and there’s still no end in sight.

Many businesses are calling for more economic relief to get through the winter, but negotiations in Congress for additional federal funding have stalled out.

That leaves many local small-business owners in a tight spot — weighing whether to cut their losses now or risk an uncertain future. St. Louis Public Radio spoke with several owners about how they made that difficult decision.
