In this episode of The 314 Podcast, Sarah Fenske talks with former Gov. Jay Nixon. Missouri’s governor from 2009 to 2017 shares his thoughts on what the state could do to tackle crime in St. Louis and Kansas City, opens up on the future of the Democratic Party in a state where it’s largely no longer competitive, and discusses the challenges ahead for new Gov. Mike Kehoe. He also shares his thoughts on St. Louis' failure to advance a plan to spend the money it received in a settlement with the NFL.
Then, Sarah chats with SLM staff writer Ryan Krull about the city's plans for derelict and vacant properties. Listen and follow The 314 Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever podcasts are available.
