I'm in St. Louis and I so appreciate this article. Locally, there has been a total lack of any articles that are critical of Bell or examine his record at all and there is so much. Most of it has been publicized over the years and mentioned on his Wikipedia page, etc, and still crickets.

A few things he's done include running a debtor's prison that he and the city were sued over, helping a cop cover up his targeting of black women, misappropriating funds in the prosecutors office and t attempting to cover it up when the media started asking questions, failing to do any of the things he ran on for his current role, allegedly engaging in inappropriate relationships in the prosecutor's office and is currently subject to a sex discrimination suit.

That's not even everything. But yet the local media focuses on fact checks of Bush accusing him of being a Republican (he's gotten a lot of GOP money and GOP operatives are organizing people to select the Dem ballot instead of the GOP ballot to vote for Bell) while giving no attention to her walking red flag of an opponent. So again, thanks for publishing this.
