As I study the new districts, I find that in 1965-66,
I represented an area in West County that now has six or seven representative
districts.
With an emphasis on parks, roads, highways, commercial
development, schools, and the environment, I provided good service to
my district.
For example:
-
Babler park was turned over to the state by a bill
I introduced
-
A bridge was built south of Eureka on now Hwy. W
-
The Chrysler Plant was incorporated
-
Meramec Community College prospered
-
Lone Elk Park was established and I transported the
original herd from Montana
-
Rockwood and Parkway School districts grew into the
best in the state
-
The special school district was established
I had input in all these enhancements which we now take
for granted. I can provide the same, if not better direct service to
our district.
