Regarding your article “Efforts Continue to Put City/County Together Again” (Jan. 4 issue), let me just offer a very succinct opinion: I don’t like big cities. That is why I chose to live in Kirkwood. I cherish the sense of community and the autonomy in decision making that comes along with …

Construction on the new westbound Meramec River Bridge is continuing along well. Since the project began last year, crews have been working on the foundation and have gotten a good amount of it done. Although you can see some of that work on the western side, as you drive by, we prefer that …
By way of introduction, my name is John P. Well. I am a direct descendant of Elizabeth Sappington Long. There is a little information I would like to share with readers. In the Dec. 21 article, “Fate of Joseph Sappington House Unknown,” Elizabeth is mentioned as a daughter of John and Jemima…
Joseph Arpaio served as sheriff in Mariopa County, Arizona. In that capacity, he cost the county nearly $150 million in settlements and court costs from alleging unlawful police conduct.
Don’t be deceived, St. Louis County residents! Be prepared to fight! Jacob Kirn, economic development editor of the St. Louis Business Journal, related in a Dec. 28 article that the Better Together organization has a new plan to combine St. Louis City and St. Louis County into one political …
My husband and I moved to Concord Village 32 years ago. We found great neighbors, good schools and wonderful small businesses.
Pope Francis warns that if we destroy the earth, the earth will destroy us.
I read Don Corrigan’s column in the Nov. 16 issue on legislative threats to overturn the Clean Missouri initiative. I could not agree with Don more!
Based on the recent TV ads, I was all for Prop D which promoted a state fuel tax increase to pay for badly needed road and bridge repairs until I read the actual Proposition in the Oct 26 Kirkwood-Webster Times.
Missouri is in need of safer roads, bridges and jobs, but when are lawmakers going to represent their constituents in their district fairly? Some people think 10 cents over four years, as outlined in Proposition D, is not much money to address much-needed repairs.
Proposition 2 ensures St. Louis County parks cannot be sold or disposed of without a vote of the people, provides residents a say over major changes in park land, and does not raise taxes or fees. Laws similar to Proposition 2 are already in place in St. Louis City and several St. Louis Coun…
I was originally in favor of Prop D since we do need road work done in the state, but then I read the actual proposition and found out most of the money is not even going to roads. It reads that of the $400 million collected about two-thirds is going to Missouri State Law Enforcement. If thi…
I was surprised to see Ann Wagner's concerns about Amendment 1 in your paper (WKT Oct. 12-18). She claims that its financial support comes from "dark money" from all over the country. I've learned that Clean Missouri has more than 27,000 small donors and has reported the source of all of its…
I have just read the article on the two candidates for state auditor. Both candidates are questioning, with fierceness, each other's ability to hold the office.

At the Sunset Hills Board of Alderman meeting Oct. 9, 2018, over two hours were spent discussing the proposed Tidal Wave development at the Econolodge site.
Don Corrigan may want to do a follow up on his Nike misinformation piece (Editor's Desk, Sept. 21). A couple of things he missed. First of all, Americans have the right to choose who they want to do business with. Start with Dick's Sporting Goods chief and his new policy on guns. I am sure t…
