Vote Looms June 5 as Groups Donate to Sewer Proposition

Clean Water STL has received roughly $385,000 in monetary support in the last five weeks. The committee wants St. Louis residents to vote Tuesday in favor of Proposition Y, a measure that will affect sewer rates throughout the area.

 

The latest campaign reports by committee aimed at getting St. Louisans to vote in favor of a sewer proposition next week shows thousands in contributions to the cause in recent says, but not from any Webster Groves groups.

The special election for Proposition Y is Tuesday in Webster Groves, Warson Woods, Rock Hill and other St. Louis County municipalities, as well as parts of St. Louis city.

Voters in those communities can look at the PDF attached to this article to double-check the location of their polling places. Voting officials say they may not necessarily be the same locations voters are used to.

Documents filed this week with the Missouri Ethics Commission show that Clean Water STL—the committee formed to back the proposition—received approximately $385,000 in monetary contributions between April 22 and May 24. It received more than $9,000 of in-kind support.

The filings also show approximately $308,000 in expenses for that period, largely on direct mailings.

Among the highlights

  • Nearly $99,000 came from companies or committees based in states other than Missouri. Among them is Englewood, CO-based CH2M Hill, which has offices in Richmond Heights.
  • The committee spent nearly $90,000 on consulting, including website consulting, during the filing period.
  • It spent nearly $219,000 on direct mailings.
