Incumbent city council member sees maintaining quality of homes and businesses an important issue for the city.
Empty storefronts and buildings in Maryland Heights are a significant issue for the city, said one incumbent city council member hoping for a second term. Chuck Caverly told Maryland Heights Patch that he is ready to run for office a second time. Caverly has spent the last two years representing Ward 3 on the Maryland Heights City Council. Caverly said the city has a lot of space that’s available for rent or lease for both businesses and people looking for homes. The biggest issue the city faces, he said, is how it maintains the quality of homes, businesses and everything that goes along with that. Caverly isn’t a stranger to home and business quality consideration. Before being elected to the Ward 3 city council spot, he served on the …

Also, Ron Paul supporters get organized in Brentwood.
Former Republican state senator Jim Talent may have decided to skip running for office this election cycle. But that doesn’t mean he’s out of the electoral arena. Talent, a Des Peres native who served in the U.S. Senate from 2003 to 2007, was one of numerous supporters of Republican and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who spent part of last week attacking former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Gingrich has surged in the polls as of late, making him the latest unlikely GOP primary frontrunner. “The Speaker’s running as a reliable and trusted conservative leader and what we’re here to say with reluctance but clearly is that he’s not a reliable and trusted conservative leader because he’s not a reliable or trustworthy leader,” Talent …

Board of Education Vice-President Beth Feldman filed Tuesday in the Parkway School District race for re-election on April 3, for a 3-year term. Feldman was the first to register on first day of the filing period. January 17 at 5 p.m. is the last day to register to get on the ballot. Feldman's earliest filing time Tuesday at 8:01 a.m., will give her top billing on the ballot. Observers said Feldman was in the district parking lot not long after midnight, in order to be first in line. Feldman said earlier this year she wanted to stay on the school board. The Chesterfield resident has been on the job since her appointment in 2008, and was then re-elected the following year to a 3-year term. Board Director Helen Casteel denied last week making…

The former Massachusetts governor announced a raft of endorsements from Missouri political figures, including a number from the St. Louis area.
As former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney continues his comeback in the polls, he’s also picking up support from Republicans in the Show Me State. Romney's campaign—which already grabbed endorsements from Sen. Roy Blunt, R-MO, and former Sen. Jim Talent, R-MO—rolled out a press release this week showcasing more endorsements from Republican politicians.
