That has to be the weirdest thing I have ever heard of. They must be nuts is all I can say. Besides, how in the hell are they going to be able to enforce it? It makes no sense at all.

The title to this article is very misleading. This isn't St. Louis, but St. Charles. While St. Chuck is a far-flung suburb of St. Louis, it is really nothing like St. Louis. It is a very conservative suburban sprawl area, and most people in St. Louis hate St. Chuck, and vice versa.

That's just not true. It's also not that far-flung.

Anyway there's talk of this bill on the St. Louis forums too. If anyone is interested they should check it out.

I've heard it's just St. Charles, but it's crazy.

It's kinda true Old town St. Charles (5th street) is way cool if your into shopping. The rest is just spawl, IMHO, that I do my best to avoid. Of course I am a Southerner (Fenton) who doesn't get up there to often. Plus it's way colder that far North!

In regards to the bill...while a nice thought it has no chance. 95% of the community would get ticketed. On second thought, what a "fund raiser"! That thing would pay off like a slot machine. It's a scene right out of Demolition Man!

I will vouch for that - This just proves what I have said about St. Charles all along...bunch of wackos out there (with some innocent bystanders mixed in)

It's the other way around one wacko out there (with a whole bunch of innocent bystanders mixed in)

I challenge you to go to St. Charles and find someone who thinks this is a good idea.

I was talking to my mom last night about it and she told me she was upset because she knows everyone is thinking "God, St. Charles... What a bunch of f***ing hoosiers" (Her words not mine) and I said ... "yup... that's pretty much exactly what they're saying"
