St Charles League hears county budget crisis and tax options
Featured speaker County Presiding Judge Lee Schwendemann told St Charles League of Women Voters that the county faces a $4.1 million request shortfall against a $28 million revenue base. He warned first class status would force a 35 cent levy cut from 5 cents, risking about $700,000, and floated a one cent county sales tax as a possible fix. He noted a $195,000 Bureau of Outdoor Recreation grant for Schillersburg park cannot be used without matching funds. The league backs Home Rule Charter and trash collection in unincorporated areas.

Officials warn holiday drinkers as enforcement tightens
St Charles County officials including Sheriff Robert Koester and Grimmer promise a strict crackdown on drunken driving during the holidays. They urge taxi or designated rides and note officers will arrest violators though prosecution is not guaranteed. A new driving while intoxicated ordinance allows operation with a tenth of one percent or more alcohol in the blood.
