St. Louis Morning Brief: Data Center Moratorium, School Board Wins in St. Charles, and Charges Coming in East St. Louis Family Tragedy

The St. Louis Morning Brief tackles a packed local docket this morning. St. Charles County Council unanimously approves a six-month moratorium on data centers, though Marc and Kim question the political timing given the ongoing county executive race. Bigger news: Governor Kehoe's signing of SB1002 moves St. Charles County school board elections to November starting in 2028, a huge win for conservative parents tired of union-backed candidates buying elections through low-turnout special elections. St. Charles also eliminates the annual reapplication hassle for the senior property tax freeze — common sense government at work. Then the brief turns somber, covering the devastating East St. Louis shooting that left five family members dead, with charges expected today against two teen suspects and questions swirling over whether they'll be tried as adults. And Cori Bush's dark money tornado relief scandal gets another look, as Marc and Kim underscore just how stonewalled reporter Mark Maxwell was met with. Real news, real St. Louis — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show Morning Brief. John Lamping joins us next.
