ST. LOUIS (KMOX) — The Board of Freeholders is almost, but not quite, complete.
The Board of Freeholders is the body in which the state constitution gives the power to redo St. Louis regional government. It can only be convened by petition, and now that the signatures are certified, people are being appointed to it.
County Executive Sam Page chose nine, including former Metro CEO and Chesterfield Mayor John Nations, businessman and former political candidate Mark Mantovani, former Gov. Blunt staffer Katy Forand, Clayton school board member and Northwest Coffee owner Jason Wilson and more.
Mayor Lyda Krewson's picks include the Rev. Earl Nance Jr. and attorney Jerry Schilchter.
The last pick is up to Gov. Mike Parson.
