Updated at 9:35 p.m. Jan. 19, with Rita Days running the St. Louis County Council weekly meeting
The St. Louis County Council on Tuesday broke through its stalemate over who chairs its meetings at least for this week.
Council members passed numerous bills Tuesday with
Rita Days running the meeting. Days and three other council members voted to make her chairwoman on Friday, reversing a Jan. 5 vote that chose Lisa Clancy as chair for another year.
Clancy said that while she didn’t agree with Days running Tuesday’s meeting, the county had business to complete.
