'The reality is North St Louis has been neglected for decades,' says St Louis Mayor Cara Spencer during an in-studio visit with Chris and Amy. The visit comes ahead of the one-year anniversary of the EF-3 tornado ripping through the heart of St Louis. She talks about the difficulty dealing with FEMA, saying it 'has been a roller coaster in some ways,' lauding the partnerships between the city and state officials as well as elected federal partners. 'No city is prepared to be able to come in and repair damage for thousands of uninsured properties, that's just the case. No city is prepared to be able to do that at the drop of a pin, or the drop of a tornado,' says Spencer. (Courtesy KMOX)
