Seems folks weren't aware of churches’ rights in zoning issues.
I am not a child of the '50s or '60s, but a child of television. I say that because on Wednesday night at the Chesterfield City Council meeting I thought both of an old Steve Allen routine on the Tonight Show and Gilda Radner’s character Emily Litella from Saturday Night Live. Allen used to put on a fedora with a press card in the hat band and then read actual letters to the editor from the paper in an angry and agitated voice. When Steve was done reading, the letter he read seemed silly. Radner's character was a hard-of-hearing woman who would give angry editorials on such subjects as “Eagle Rights Amendment.” "conserving natural racehorses," “busting schoolchildren” or “endangered feces.” When Chevy Chase would correct her character, …

Two different troop members look for good citizenship experience.
Two industrious 14-year-olds sat in on a Chesterfield City Council meeting Monday in the quest for Boy Scout Citizenship badges. Tanner Caldwell, from Troop 554, sat with his father Shannon in the front row for the half-hour meeting at Chesterfield's City Hall Council Chambers. Tanner seemed to be taking some notes while Council members voted 8-0 on a raft of measures. Patrick Enderle, Troop 809, was joined by his father Richard at the same council meeting. The pair of 8th grade students chatted with Mayor Bruce Geiger after the meeting for another quarter-hour. Geiger had introduced them during the meeting, from the dais. Prior to the short meeting, city council met 10 minutes in public hearing from business looking for liquor license and…

We, nor any of our neighbors had seen any posting or notification anywhere about RV Residential Parking Restrictions agenda to be discussed prior to a City Council vote. It gave RV owners no opportunity to present their cases prior to law passage. Just the few close neighbors we've spoken to consider it absurd no consideration will be given to Grandfathering addendum despite our appeal to the … more ›
