The 314 Podcast: Rep. Steve Butz

In this episode of The 314 Podcast, host Sarah Fenske talks with state Representative Steve Butz (D-St. Louis) about the dramatic end to this year’s legislative session—and what that bodes for tornado relief for St. Louis, as well as Gov. Mike Kehoe’s desire to contribute millions in state funding to keep Kansas City sports teams in Missouri. Then, Sarah chats with SLM staff writer Ryan Krull about cyclists’ demands for big changes to Gravois Avenue after two recent deaths.

“This is going to have repercussions. At least this next year, the the ramification is nothing is gonna get done. This nuclear option may well very well have lit the fuse that ignites a backlash.” —Steve Butz
