Prop K (for the Kids)
Passed in wards: 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28.
Failed in wards: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 23.
Weird pattern. In addition to the predictable anti-tax wards in southwest St Louis, predominantly black Wards 1 and 3 also voted against it. Ward 1 is home to Irene Smith and Sharon Tyus. Ward 3 is the Bosley home base. Did those ward organizations take a stand against K? Did their anti-home-rule campaign tell people to vote against all amendments?
