The St. Louis Board of Aldermen return to duty today after an eight-week summer vacation. One of the things scheduled for today’s meeting is a brief recognition of the 28-year legislative career of State Sen. Pat Dougherty.
Dougherty, who was prevented from seeking re-election this year due to term limits (and whose first senate campaign in 2001 this reporter managed), is the subject of Resolution #96, introduced by Ald. Jennifer Florida (15th Ward).
“During his exemplary career in the Missouri General Assembly, Senator Dougherty has been an outspoken champion for the rights of children, senior citizens and families in this State and has been instrumental in the passage of legislation designed to guarantee those rights,” the resolution states.
