Gene McNary

Craig Larson, Rockwood School District Superintendent, skillfully moderated the lively debate in a packed house at the Holiday Inn.

Both parties fielded questions about Lambert expansion, tax credits, small business issues, employment, the economy, and the St Louis County Fair.  The debate, which was lively and amicable, gave significant insight into each candidate’s stance and grasp of the issues.

Terry Biggs presenting a State Chamber position on Amendment-3 followed the debate.  This gas tax amendment will also be on the November ballot.

The meeting was preceded and followed by extensive networking and discussion.  Craig Larson made a request for volunteers to assist students in their election day voting.  If you will assist Rockwood in this important activity, contact your local school, or 636-938-2200.
