<p>The gathering was one of a series of RECA assistance meetings organized by former state Sen.

Instead, they have chosen to spend taxpayer dollars as if the county has unlimited resources. The result of this disjointed approach to governing now falls directly on the pocketbooks of every St. Louis County resident.
