At last nights debate between the candidates for President of the Board of Aldermen, a question from the audience asked Alderman Lewis Reed why his yard signs can be seen on so many trees in north St. Louis.
Reed’s opponent, incumbent Pres. Jim Shrewsbury said his campaign never puts signs in illegal locations. But directly across the street from the debate site, a 4-foot by 8-foot Shrewsbury sign could be seen standing on city land in Fairgrounds Park.
Fairgrounds is located in the 21st Ward, whose alderman, Bennice Jones-King, and committeeman, “Chink” Washington, have broken from every other northside ward to endorse Shrewsbury.
