Episode Details

St. Louis County’s finances are in serious trouble, with County Executive Sam Page warning that layoffs of police officers may be unavoidable without new revenue—pointing to the underfunded Prop P and suggesting options like the Rams settlement or a new online sales tax.

Tensions rise as Page’s term ends and critics question his motives amid mounting budget pressure.
