In this episode of The 314 Podcast, host Sarah Fenske talks with former state representative Peter Merideth about his family’s decision to move from the city of St. Louis to St. Louis County—and what city leaders could do to prevent the flight of families like his. Then, Sarah chats with SLM staff writer Ryan Krull about a St. Louis prosecutor’s unusual involvement in the criminal case against New York attorney general Letitia James.
