Legal decisions are shaping the future of Missouri elections and local police

An unusually fast verdict this month from the Missouri Supreme Court has set the stage for Missouri voters to use a map in August that could soon be challenged — and reversed — by a public referendum. Meanwhile, in St. Louis, a state-run police board is seeking an expedited ruling to force the city to spend another $67 million on the police budget. On this episode of the Legal Roundtable on “St. Louis on the Air,” a panel of attorneys analyzes the speed, timing, and politics of these cases. They also discuss a federal court judge who used a local immigration case to make a point about national politics, and a Louisiana couple suing a Creve Coeur fertility clinic.
