Ward 14 Alderman Rasheen Aldrige joins Chris and Amy in-studio. He's the budget chair in the City of St Louis. He's dealing with the push by the new state-controlled Board of Police Commissioners. He discusses their push to add Rams settlement funds into the annual budget for the St Louis Police Department. The city is challenging those demands. 'We are giving them what we need,' says Aldrige, and points out the 'parity' rules that require raises for police and fire to match. (courtesy Matt P)
