Unofficial results are in from Tuesday's election, in which St. Louis City residents voted for members of the newly-downsized Board of Aldermen.
Progressive candidates saw success, with some incumbent moderates being edged out, like Alderman Joe Vaccaro. Residents also voted in favor of revisions to the city charter (Prop C) and in favor of an added 3% sales tax to recreational marijuana (Prop M). Megan Green was also elected to a full term as the President of the Board of Aldermen; she ran unopposed.
