ST. LOUIS — Tuesday is Election Day in Missouri and one of the biggest issues on the ballot is a property tax increase known as Proposition R, which would fund major upgrades at St. Louis Community College for the first time since 1984.
"This is an opportunity for St. Louis to invest in ourselves,” said Mark Wrighton, Chancellor Emeritus of Washington University. “This will provide affordable, accessible, safe education and training for people in our community."
