Marc Cox and Dan Buck discuss falling homicide numbers across the St. Louis region, the ongoing debate over police pay and city budget priorities, and why driving an old paid-off vehicle may be smarter than buying new. The hour also features Tom Ackerman on a major sports announcement coming to St. Louis, the economic impact of a packed sports weekend, youth sports development, the NBA Finals, a viral fundraiser for an 85-year-old movie theater worker, and a cautionary report on a commonly prescribed sleep medication.
