St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer urges Missouri lawmakers to reject a bill shifting police misconduct lawsuit costs from state to city, warning it could cripple services and increase local costs. The bill targets the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, with ongoing debates over a century-old state control setup. City leaders warn of potential service cuts, while Ferguson officials support the change, frustrated by regional police issues. A recent settlement highlights the stakes, with the state paying out around twenty-two million dollars for department misconduct claims. Lawmakers have yet to vote, but pressure is building from both sides as budget talks heat up.
