St. Peters mayor supports the newly re-located Volunteers in Medicine.
I was proud to be invited to the grand re-opening of Volunteers in Medicine, located at 1039 South Duchesne Road on Saturday, Oct. 27, and would like to share with you thoughts about this complimentary health care clinic.

St. Peters Mayor Len Pagano encourages Missouri voters to keep Governor Jay Nixon in office.
People often ask me, “How do you keep getting things done in St. Peters?” We get things done for our residents because we work with other people and organizations, we look for the best solutions, and we believe real compromise is a good thing that helps make our city a great place to live, work, play and raise a family. We don’t always agree on everything, but we’ve learned you can get a lot more done by focusing on the things that you can agree on, working together to achieve big goals. In the last four years, we’ve all faced economic challenges. Yet, St. Peters has completed crucial projects like roads to help move people safely, bring customers to grow our existing businesses; bring new businesses and jobs to St. Peters. The …

St. Peters Mayor Len Pagano has called a special meeting at 4:45 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 27, to appoint Terri Violet to the Board of Aldermen. Another Ward 3 resident opposes the selection.
Terri Violet was determined to serve on the St. Peters Board of Aldermen. Violet threw her hat in the ring as a candidate to serve Ward 3 in the 2011 Municipal Election . She was challenging incumbent Gus Elliott and lost by a narrow margin—783 to 709. Despite the loss, Violet wouldn't go away.

With Elliott out of the way and the "yes woman" in his place, it appears that the board and Pagono will have smooth sailing all the way! Don't come crying to us when they decide to bulldoze your home for widening Spencer Road to 6 lanes all the way to McClay road and beyond or put a big ass box store in your back yard or even where your home is now!

I do not know what their specific reasons are because they only talk in broad terms. They make vague accusations that they are corrupt in some way but fail to come up with facts! Once again I will state that the politics in this city is a dirty business … more ›
