The latest email from NST friends as of last night is as follows:
Friends,
Apparently a few Aldermen and the Mayor's office have reached a "compromise" on the future of NST. Today Anna Ginsburg, who has run the program for many years and kept it indepenent of petty politics was removed from her position. This "compromise" is sure to include other changes that will make the NSOs less responsive to the community. No community input was sought before making these deciscions.
Please contact Mayor Slay at City Hall Room 200, 1200 Market St. St. Louis MO 63103 and let him know how you feel about these developments.
Tuesday's hearing (June 7 at 9:00 AM at the Board of Aldermen) is now of crucial importance. Please come and bring others with you. We must protect the NST
