The special election for Proposition Y is Tuesday in Clayton, Richmond Heights and other St. Louis County municipalities, as well as parts of St. Louis city.
Documents filed this week with the Missouri Ethics Commission show that Clean Water STL—the committee formed to back the proposition—received approximately $385,000 in monetary contributions between April 22 and May 24. It received more than $9,000 of in-kind support.

So the 1% wants the 99% to pay to clean up their sewage? No way!

My question is how much will passage finally cost after the rate power give them all the new powers they have requested. If it doesn't pass they will just do what the feds are making them do and when they are finished no more sky high sewer bills, right? Why are allthebigpolluters paying for the advertising to get this passed? Do they pay their fair share? There hasn't been much said to argue against the law. I wonder why not?
