Think of St. Louis City's divorce from St. Louis County in the latter part of the 19th century when you think about this.<BR/><BR/>Non Shelby legislators seem to be reluctant to approve bills like this when there is significant opposition from within the County. Therefore, would it not be best for opponents to lobby the Shelby delegation, especially those whose districts are primarily in the City, and members of the City School Board to express their opposition to the Special District?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
