Financial support has been pouring in for a committee aimed at getting St. Louisans to vote in favor of a sewer proposition next week.
The special election for Proposition Y is Tuesday in Florissant and other St. Louis County municipalities, as well as parts of St. Louis city.
Documents filed this week with the Missouri Ethics Commission show that Clean Water STL—the committee formed to back the proposition—received approximately $385,000 in monetary contributions between April 22 and May 24. It received more than $9,000 of in-kind support.
The filings also show approximately $308,000 in expenses for that period, largely on direct mailings.
Among the highlights
- Nearly $99,000 came from companies or committees based in states other than Missouri. Among them is Englewood, CO-based CH2M Hill, which has offices in Richmond Heights.
- The committee spent nearly $90,000 on consulting, including website consulting, during the filing period.
- It spent nearly $219,000 on direct mailings.
