The Black Aldermanic Caucus is teaming up with the Young Democrats of St. Louis to host a gala inaugural celebration at City Hall.

The black-tie event will be 6:30 p.m. on Jan 20., the day Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th president of the United State.

At City Hall, supporters will celebrate with a special dinner, followed by a ball in the building’s ornate rotunda.

Tickets are $50 a person, or $125 for “VIP” access. For more information, check out the event’s website.

Just forgot eatting takeout food, reading the newspaper, reading a map - writing down directions from a radio commerical, talking on a CD Radio … etc.

Its the not object that needs to be banned - its the Driver that should be ticketed or lose thier licence for being so careless and reckless.

Take away the Radio, take away talking in the vehicle, take away the CB Radios, take away all means of distraction …. and watch how many accidents you see … still the same amount if not more.

Wonder how many accidents are caused by drivers slowing down to see another accident on the highway.

This bill is uncalled for and will not pass.

I will move from the state of Missouri if it does.

Its bad enough Jefferson County is the biggest rip off money hungry jurisdiction in Missouri - but to keep adding ontop of that. You pass a bill in St. Louis and Jefferson County will double it and make sure that any one who has violated the law will pay the maximum price and or double.

i.e. A MIP is 100.00 to take a class for drug and alcoholism - THEN they drop the charge to littering!! and a 200.00 fine and court costs and attorney fees a whole shopping 600.00 YEA Jefferson County make a killing on a MIP turned into a littering charge. Thats really teaching our children something - get drunk and drive, get drunk and party, pay us enough money and we will lower it to littering.

The whole Legal system in Missouri is a rip off … Keep adding more laws … I will be one of many that leave. I refuse to live in a communism State any longer.

I think that I will do the same thing that I did on inauguration day 8 years ago, wake up, go to work, eat lunch, come home from work, eat dinner with my family, watch some TV, and then go to bed. Isn’t it amazing how much that things haven’t changed? Millions of dollars are still being wasted on inaugural parties and festivities, while so many people are hurting during this “recession”. It is a little bit like Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
