Kehoe says a state-appointed board overseeing St. Louis police will make the city safer

from St. Louis on the Air

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe is pushing for a state board to oversee the St. Louis police department because he says it will make the city safer in the long run. The GOP chief executive is brushing aside criticism that the idea is another example of Republican-controlled state government micromanaging the heavily Democratic St. Louis region. In a wide-ranging interview with STLPR the day after his first State of the State address, Kehoe discussed public safety and a host of other issues including taxes, education funding and diversity programs.
