Description

Former Senator John Lamping discusses national and local politics, criticizing Republicans for avoiding aggressive strategies in redistricting battles and reflecting on the Indiana and Missouri examples. He highlights the strategic importance of gerrymandering, filibuster dynamics, and the consequences of political caution. On a local level, Lamping examines St. Louis County’s $81 million budget deficit, attributing it to population shifts, economic decline, and one-party dominance. He also notes regional growth trends in St. Charles and Chesterfield counties, connecting infrastructure projects to broader demographic and economic changes, and emphasizes the long-term implications for local governance and business.
