Welcome to the Inaugural Issue of All Politics Are Local (APAL).

We will report and comment on local governmental issues and tell you what our politicians are up to and how it affects our day-to-day lives in St. Louis.  We want to keep you informed and, occasionally, inspire you to activism.

Here is the plan (which is totally subject to change!):

• Weekly — We’ll send a newsletter via email once a week— more when needed.

• 15 Minute Read — Our information will be read in 15 minutes or less — though we might throw in a long piece, if circumstances warrant.

• Free — We’ll keep our costs low and offset costs with donations (which will always be welcome).

• We Will Sign Our Stories — Active or retired, you’ll hear from political office-holders, writers, civic leaders, small business-owners, and maybe an occasional corporate titan (probably not though).

• Reader Content Welcome — You can submit pieces for publication.  

• Editorial Review — A group of  citizens will review all submissions and approve some for publication.  Comments can be shared on our social media channels.
