ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — Acting St. Louis County Council Chair Rita Days sent a scathing letter to the Board of Police Commissioners this week, calling its members “negligent and irresponsible in their own appointed duties.”
“My hope was that you would recognize the need for strong leadership at this time and you would deliver,” she wrote in the Feb. 9 letter obtained by 5 On Your Side. “I am no longer confident that you can do either.”
