Two Big Stories

The St Louis Post Dispatch had two big stories about Taum Sauk. First there is a disagreement between Missouri's Governor and our Attorney General about how to investigate the Taum Sauk event. Second is an article about the desire of Ameren to rebuild the upper reservoir. I can tell you that the community of Lesterville is split over the idea of rebuilding. On one side you have those that realize that the property taxes that Ameren pays are a major contributor to the well being of Lesterville School. I have heard numbers up to 60% of the school is paid for by Ameren. On the other side are those that don't want to ever see this type of event again and don't trust that Ameren will build and opperate a safe facility.
