Sean & Seamus McGowan are listed as board members.

SLDC has betrayed the public trust by failing to update its 2017 analysis of the Jefferson Arms project. The analysis should include all #taxingdistrictsSTL sought by the developer.

As the BOA continues to approve the creation of #taxingdistrictsSTL, inequitable policing will increase.
The number of SLMPD officers working secondary for firms such as Campbell & TCF could be in the hundreds.

Check out how your tax dollars are being spent by the #SoulardCID & #SoulardSBD boards of directors.
Board members don't appear to want neighborhood residents to attend their meetings. What are they hiding?
