I do apologize for sending information about the casino. I certainly made
a big error.

Dear West Cousins,

I must apologize for letting this continue without saying anything. I wanted to wait for the "other" Myra to realize that she had made a mistake in sending the post to the list.

So, please, cousins, let's not respond to those postings again, no matter what we feel about the issue.

Thanks,

Myra Chambers

Dear Myra Chambers:

Is this political statement of genealogical value to the subscribers to
West-L?

Thanks.

sharing program with the city. The very idea, with out coming to my
constituents, is unimaginable. Those of you that know me, will tell you that
I always bring topics of this importance to the community.

both serious economics and social implications for St. Louis County, can be
publicly floated in the media without any discussion or dialogue with the
St. Louis County Councilman (yours truly) or our State Legislative leaders
from the South County area. Two people sitting in the back room making a
city county deal is not regionalism, it is more a scheme.

proposal to bring gambling to South County without FULL public debate. This
has to be discussed with all of my constituents in South county, not two
politicians.

> St. Louis County residents and the businesses both large and small,
deserve full discloser of any plans to bring gaming into the south county
area and this has not been done. I am going to insist, that the public has
FULL input before ANY plan of this type moves forward.

> A concern of mine and I am sure yours also, is to do the best thing for
South County and all of St. Louis County. We should not be talking about a
revenue sharing plan that helps the City of St. Louis' financial problems
without really understanding the ramifications for the St. Louis County.
And, certainly, more gambling isn't the answer to fixing St. Louis County's
revenue situation.
