Dooley proposes the elimination of St. Louis County Municipal Court fee
CLAYTON • Responding to the Ferguson-generated outcry over legal costs, St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley is asking that the County Municipal Court do away with a $25 fee levied for infractions of county ordinances.
Dooley will introduce the proposal at a Tuesday evening County Council meeting which is expected to be attended by demonstrators protesting the Aug. 9 death of Ferguson teen Michael Brown.
Sources say the county is prepared to accommodate a large number of spectators.
Turnout at council meetings is generally low.
