St. Louis Morning Brief: Cori Bush Payments to Husband Resurface, Police Chief Talks Vacancies, and Josh Hawley Presses Postal Service
from The Marc Cox Morning Show
It's a busy St. Louis Morning Brief. New records show Cori Bush's campaign has paid husband Courtney Merritt roughly $120,000 since 2022, including payments once flagged in a prior ethics complaint, while questions linger over funds allegedly funneled from a tornado relief charity. St. Louis County's new police chief lays out his priorities, including filling 100 vacant positions, boosting visible patrols, cracking down on the minor curfew, and reevaluating a juvenile point system critics say lets young car thieves walk free. Elsewhere, a local nonprofit rolls out a Peace on Wheels van to counsel gun violence victims, and Senator Josh Hawley calls out the Postmaster General's offer of a facility tour as a photo op instead of real answers on St. Louis's mail delays. The Marc Cox Morning Show keeps its eye on accountability, common-sense policing, and government waste, all before Jim Carafano and Congressman Bob Onder join in the next hour.
