Ellisville Mayor back, amid continuing legal moves. Was new Walmart store behind his impeachment?
After a standing ovation from allies and a quick search for the gavel, reinstated Ellisville Mayor Adam Paul was back in charge Tuesday night.
Snip:
With the help of supportive council members, Paul moved to delay action on the city’s plan to award tax breaks to Wal-Mart for a planned superstore. Paul and his allies believe that his opposition to the tax incentives is at the heart of the impeachmen since his opponents – including councilman Matt Pirrello, a former mayor, and city manager Kevin Bookout – support the project.
