VIDEO: Board expected to pass Civilian Review Board bill tomorrow

By Antonio D. French

Filed Thursday, March 9 at 3:39 PM

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen is expected to vote to approve board bill #69 tomorrow. The bill, introduced by Ald. Terry Kennedy (18th Ward), was the subject of much discussion and an unsuccessful filibuster at last week's meeting. But after perfecting the bill by a vote of 16-8 last week, backers of the bill believe that they will again have the votes needed tomorrow for its final passage.

Ald. Kennedy sat down with PUB DEF this afternoon to answer a few questions on BB 69. Here are three videos from that interview.

ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE COMPROMISE BILL THAT WILL BE VOTED ON TOMORROW? HOW DOES THE C.R.B. THAT IT CREATES DIFFER FROM THE ONE CREATED BY THE POLICE BOARD TWO YEARS AGO?



EVEN IF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN DOES PASS THE BILL, IT WILL STILL BE UP TO THE POLICE BOARD TO PASS A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THIS NEW BOARD. WHAT IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO?



WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A SHOWDOWN BETWEEN THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN AND THE BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS OVER THIS BILL?
