The Post-Dispatch pointed out that Esquire Magazine recently named Mayor Francis Slay one of the best-dressed mayors in the country. Slay appears in the September issue of Esquire.
But St. Louisans may have a different idea about their best-dressed politican. According to a poll on Mayor Slay’s Website, License Collector Mike McMillan is the best-dressed local politician. McMillan beat out April Ford-Griffin, Gregor Francis Xavier Daly, Charlie Dooley, Lyda Krewson, Kacie S. Triplett and Joe Mokwa.
Update: This month's issue of Alive Magazine named McMillan one 2007's "Men of Style." Other Men of Style for this year include KTVI anchor Kevin Steincross and St. Louis Ram Orlando Pace.
The region's political players came together last night for what has become one of the largest annual events in St. Louis politics. License Collector Mike McMillan played the role of "cash collector" once again as the region's elite literally lined up to drop off their $500 and $1,000 contributions to McMillan's future endeavors.
Among those spotted: County Executive Charlie Dooley, East St. Louis Mayor Alvin Parks, Democratic State Senators Maida Coleman and Chris Koster, announced Attorney General candidates Jeff Harris and Margaret Donnelly, Lt. Gov. candidate Sam Page, Comptroller Darlene Green, President of the Board of Aldermen Lewis Reed and most of the city's aldermen, nearly all of St. Louis' state legislative delegation, committeepeople, citywide elected officials, and many, many others.
