The April 7th ballot issue does not directly say a rate hike is involved. You have to know that “To comply with federal and state clean water requirements, shall The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) issue its sewer revenue bonds… to be payable solely from the revenues derived by MSD from the operation of its wastewater sewer system” means Rate Hike. Previous Rate Hikes also did not say Rate Hike.
Sample Ballot
MSD’s ballot issue campaigns are run by Stenger-saga and St. Louis City and County Prop P (sales tax hike for police) consultant The Kelley Group. The new ballot issue campaign committee is named “Campaign for Clean Water STL.” The first major donor to this MSD campaign was $35,000 from SAK, a pipeline contractor in O’Fallon, Missouri. You might remember SAK from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch‘s “After controversial MSD vote, winners donated more than $150,000 to Stenger campaign” story.
Previous Metropolitan Sewer District ballot issues:
April 2, 2019: City and County voters rejected an impervious surface charge proposal by MSD
April 5, 2016: City and County voters approve rate hike proposal by MSD to fund $900 Million Bond Issue
April 5, 2016: City and County voters approve $0.10 property tax hike proposal by MSD
June 5, 2012: City and County voters approve rate hike proposal by MSD to fund $945 Million Bond Issue
August 5, 2008: City and County voters approve rate hike proposal by MSD to fund $275 Million Bond Issue
