In 2005, Mayor Francis Slay was forced to defend his failures as a police board member. He was re-elected but his performance as the city’s only elected representative on the police board didn’t improve as scandal after scandal eventually got the attention of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney.
Two weeks ago the St. Louis American broke a story about how a committee associated with Mayor Francis Slay has been paying two local black newspapers for positive front page coverage. But what about the Post-Dispatch?
After the deadline to file for mayor ended at 5:00 Friday, the TV news stations falsely reported that State Senator Maida Coleman had filed for mayor. The Post-Dispatch even reported she completely dropped out of the race. They all got it wrong.
