Don’t Fall for the Full-Time Alder Scam

I previously wrote about legislation to increase salaries of St. Louis City Alders to $72,000 without requiring them to devote all their time to their public office.

Now there’s an effort to amend the City Charter to make Alders full-time City employees. The problem is Alder Joe Vaccaros’ Board Bill 126 is one of two things- completely meaningless or a nightmare for courts to sort out. In either case, Alders should start over.

Vaccaro’s proposed Charter amendment doesn’t define what full-time employee means, reference current City Personnel Department language, or link to State or Federal law. He leaves it up to each person to decide for themselves what full-time means and, apparently, then litigate it to death.

Is Vaccaro proposing an honor system where each Alder says they worked x-number of hours?

Is Vaccaro suggesting that after voters passed this terribly flawed amendment that Alders would figure out some kind of report your hours to Board Clerk system.? The Board Clerk is a Board patronage employee, so there are all sort of conflicts of interest to this self-regulating full-time employee charade.

Do many or even most Alders put in forty hours a week or more? Absolutely.

Would it be a good thing to properly compensate elected officials who devote themselves to public service? Absolutely.

But this bill does not do that. Vaccaro’s proposal treats Alders who devote all their time to being an Alder and Alders who are bank vice presidents, attorneys, public relations consultants, business owners, landlords, etc. the same. See list, a work in progress, below.

There is a better way, a charter amendment that makes Alders and Board President devote all their time to the elected job, same as Charter requires the Mayor: “The mayor shall devote his entire time to the duties of his office.”

A huge bonus to requiring full devotion to the job is that it will remove conflicts of interests such as the ones posed by Jack Coatar being an Alder and working for Spencer Fane.

The proposed pay hike for Alders should be contingent on passage of a charter amendment requiring Alders to devote all their time to public service.

Make your voice heard to your Alder and the Committee hearing Vaccaro’s legislation.

* Political Party County Central Committee ward and township committeepeople have the option to file their campaign finance reports with their county election authority- Board of Election Commissioners in the case of St. Louis City- or online with Missouri Ethics Commission. The St. Louis City Board of Election once posted pdfs of ward committeepeople campaign finance reports to the Board’s website. That is no longer the case. To inspect records, you must visit the Board in person.
