The Insider PodCast discussed the reintroduction of the Better Together bill by Ian Mackey, proposing a merger of St. Louis City and County. The 2019 attempt failed due to opposition from West County municipalities and legal challenges. The merger aims to consolidate 88 municipalities into one government, potentially saving $250 million annually. Key concerns include the impact on local identities, police training, and education reform. The panel debated the benefits of regional cooperation versus maintaining local autonomy, citing examples like Indianapolis and Nashville. They emphasized the need for efficient governance and collaboration to address St. Louis's declining population and financial issues.
