Alderman Rasheen Aldridge

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department announced that the circuit attorney had declined to file a case against Alderwoman Sharon Tyus of the 12th Ward.

The department had been investigating her for saying she would put a bullet in the head of 14th Ward Alderman Rasheen Aldridge if he were in her Black caucus.

Tyus has defended the remarks as an analogy about trust in wartime and has refused to apologize.

She has received a formal verbal reprimand from the Board of Aldermen.

"In a room full of seniors, not one person said they thought I was threatening him.

Alderman Rasheen Aldridge is trying to put a spin on a three-year-old analogy."

Putting a spin on a three-year-old bullet, um-

Mm

A bill that sparked the ire of Alderwoman Sharon Tyus due in committee today.

Alderman Rasheen Aldridge's bill does essentially the same as the one introduced by Alderwoman Sharon Tyus in May that she has taken no action on.

Change the operator of the Homer G. Phillips apartment complex to a different company.

Alderman Rasheen Aldridge says the new operator intends to fix many of the issues that are putting the seniors at risk, including the unsecure parking lot where residents tell KMOX they have been robbed and have had tires stolen off cars.

He's talking about fixing the gate.

He's talking about upgrading units.

In an effort to save more money, Page signed an executive order earlier this week that stopped negotiations for a new county administration space.

The City of St. Louis Personnel Committee voted yesterday to advance a resolution demanding a public apology from Alderwoman Sharon Tyus for saying she would, quote, put a bullet in Alderman Rasheen Aldridge's head.

Tyus's prior clarification that she was speaking figuratively has not addressed other board members' concerns.

Board President Megan Green said she felt it was important to condemn Tyus for her remarks and demonstrate the body will not tolerate violent language.
