Comments from the Public:
• Michael Murphy– SEIU Local, read his letter response to the Labor Management meetings re: FMLA.
Edited 8/6/20 Pg. 4
• Elaine Laura – O’Fallon Community Developing Organization, read a letter (transcribed below) on the
financial spending of MSD.
The Supreme Court ruled, and Nancy Pelosi broke it down, the President is not above the law. In order
to make a point, I’d like to use part of that summary to alert MSD that it is not above financial reality.
Headline after headline accurately states the reality of pandemic life is that St. Louis, Missouri and a large
portion of the world is suffering financially.
Parson signed budget cuts planned to spend as tax collections lag. - July 1, 2020.
Millions of Americans face big drop in income in coming weeks. – June 30, 2020.
Virus pummels commercial real estate. – June 25, 2020.
Despair, Disruption, and Decline has taken a heavy toll on the hard-working MSD Consumer. Yet, MSD appears unable to address this financial reality and forges ahead with project after million-dollar project.
Never inquiring in a public meeting, that I have attended, of Mr. Gee, “How many accounts are delinquent?” or seeking Mr. Snoke’s counsel, “Do you think we can hold off with this project?” or
suggesting to Mr. Unverferth, “What about a design contest to get a look at alternative ways to tackle this
tunnel?”
What did MSD do to rescue a boring machine stuck in the would-be Jefferson Barracks Tunnel?
They ordered a new one from Europe – It’s bigger, badder and adds $29 Million to the budgeted amount
of 63.3 million, according to figures on web site. MSD is not above the financial reality for our area.
Customers will feel the impact of yet another scheduled increase in October 2020.
Thank you.
Elaine Laura
