Stenger Vote Leaves Seniors out in the Cold

 

As St. Louis County Executive, Charlie Dooley has worked hard to improve the living conditions of seniors who have given so much to our communities. Under Charlie Dooley's leadership the county has been named an AARP Age Friendly Community, the only one in the state and one of only 30 in the nation.

But Steve Stenger, in yet another attempt to score political points and further his personal agenda, turned his back on our elderly neighbors. Stenger originally supported a much needed senior housing development in Oakville, but upon hearing the concerns of a few outspoken residents, he filed a resolution to revoke the development's zoning. As the Post-Dispatch put it, Stenger "was for it before he was against it." Once again, Steve Stenger would rather do what is politically expedient than what is right.

The aging of St. Louis County's population is a trend that will impact all of us. By 2030, 20% of Americans will be over age 65, and our nation will face a severe shortage of appropriate housing and services to meet their needs if we do not act. In St. Louis County, the Baby Boomers combined with seniors over the age of 65 represent nearly half of our local population.

Charlie Dooley has shown a willingness to make the tough decisions to do what is right for our elderly neighbors and friends and make St. Louis County a community where seniors can age comfortably and with dignity. Steve Stenger has shown a willingness to do anything for his political and personal gain, even turning his back on seniors.

If this is how Stenger votes on the council, what will he eliminate as County Executive?


Charlie has spent his lifetime in service to his county, community, and country.

 

Let’s keep the County moving forward with

Charlie Dooley!
