Tangazo is a meeting place where we share ideas and explore efforts to improve our human conditions and quite simply make our lives better. All are welcome, none will be judged, but all are challenged to look beyond ourselves and our notions of how others think about issues of cultural​,​ political and social significance. We are building bridges of communication between the many groups that make up the St​. L​ouis Metropolitan Region by sharing and reflecting on the stories and lives of a diverse group of guests.

StLouis Board of Aldermen President, Dr. Megan-Ellyia Green, joined Tangazo host Hank Thompson and LS Lockhart, retired journalist and Tangazo commentator,for an important discussion on issues involving the homeless and public safety. ———

President Green, offered no real explanation as to why city officials seemingly waited until the eve of a visit,by Vice President Kamala Harris and those attending the Democratic National Committee’s Fall meeting ,to remove the dozens of people who had camped out on the lawn of city hall. ------

A decision that Dr. Green disagreed with, “ I’m not here to rubber stamp Mayor Tishaura Jones decisions.” ------

Our discussion included public safety concerns such as staffing the St.Louis Police department. President Green does not see an urgent need to hire more policemen as the answer to reducing crime. ------

We discussed the city’s plans for returning to red light cameras as a method to curb reckless driving and unregistered vehicles that continues to plague St.Louis. -----

Another important concern for the African American community, is the interference of Progressives in the elections of their representatives on the board of Aldermen, by bank rolling candidates that support the progressive agenda against incumbent north side Alderpersons.------

Ours is a critical discussion on serious matters facing the city of StLouis, you don’t want to miss this episode of the KDHX podcast. ------
