In this episode of The 314 Podcast, host Sarah Fenske talks with Jake Zimmerman. The county assessor recently surprised many people with the margin of his victory in the Democratic primary and now stands as the favorite to be elected St. Louis County executive in November. He shares his view of the race, his vision for the job, and what drew him back home after college in California and Harvard Law. Then, Sarah chats with SLM staff writer Ryan Krull about the scrap recycling facility that has its South City neighbors in an uproar—and what he learned by going undercover to sell scrap.
