Officials Corrupt Revelations Appalling in St Louis Probe
The April grand jury, aided by Circuit Attorney Folk, released its final report to Judge Douglass detailing unprecedented municipal corruption in St Louis. It blames officials for squandered tax money, ruined public services, and a high tax burden while noting prior collectors and a former mayor profited from public funds. The report cites interest totaling about 20,000 dollars on public funds and vows civil action to recover funds, while accusing the assembly of violating the city charter by benefiting from contracts and city supplies.
