Are you stoned? It's pointless to even bother with some of you. Contrary to programmed beliefs, you can't call someone a name enough to make you right. What it really means is that you've once again reached the extent of your knowledge. If you think a drug is safe just because it's legal, you're not paying much attention. Contrary to popular belief, alcohol is your gateway drug, but because it's …   more ›

Budget Session Focuses on Sheriff's Department Salaries

St. Charles County Council Chairman Joe Brazil aims to fix what he considers a salary discrepancy among law enforcement.

A 2012 budget work session focused on salaries, especially for St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department law enforcement officers. “One thing I’ve been trying to work on is getting St. Charles County deputies up to the average pay of law enforcement in the municipalities,” said Council Chairman Joe Brazil, R-District 2. “My view is our deputies are underpaid.” Lt. Craig McGuire of the sheriff’s department said that throughout the past 10 years, 88 employees left the department; 52 of them left for other law enforcement agencies or the private sector. McGurie also read salary averages compiled from listings on stltoday.com that showed salary discrepancies between the county and municipal law enforcement agencies. Brazil also said that …

Council Member Calls County’s ‘Next-to-Zero’ Property Tax a Slap at County Employees

Council members, mindful of departing sheriff’s deputies, discuss raising 2012 tax rate as city employees have faced no raises, layoffs and furloughs.

While setting St Charles County’s 2011 property tax, one St. Charles County Council member noted that county employees have gone without raises, endured layoffs, furloughs—mandatory leave without pay—and budget cuts for two years. “This property tax rate is a slap in the face to every county employee,” said Councilman Jerry Daugherty, D-District 6, during the council meeting Monday. “If we don’t have any more respect for the employees of St. Charles County than that, we deserve to lose every one,” said Daugherty, of Portage de Sioux. “You can’t keep robbing Peter to pay Paul.” His comments initially were about the 2011 property tax rate, which are due Dec. 31, but Daugherty amended his comments to the 2012 property tax rate, which would …
