Donnybrook

This week, we had a special hour long table conversation, with the first half devoted to discussing the local response and issues at the moment around COVID-19/coronavirus.

On Donnybrook this week, a pretty strong debate broke out around the table about the Blues not having a home game for “Hockey Is For Everyone” night. The regulars also discuss John Rallo’s sentencing as a part of the Steve Stenger scandal, Prop P running out of money, the growth of New Town in St. Charles, and a few other topics!

The hot topic that stuck out on tonight's show? Gas leaf blowers! Should they be banned for the sake of the environment? Would it be a symbolic move or a worthless gesture that disrupts an industry? Also lots of transportation hot topics, like speed limits, airport studies, and arming guards on MetroLink. Charlie Brennan debates with Bill McClellan, Wendy Wiese, Alvin Reid and Ray Hartmann.

Was Blagojevich's commutation called for? Is Greitens making a comeback? Does Mantovani have a chance in St. Louis County? Are the St. Louis BattleHawks for real? All these, and many other questions, debated on this episode of Donnybrook! Charlie Brennan debates with Bill McClellan, Wendy Wiese, Alvin Reid and Ray Hartmann.

This week, high school sports was a dominant topic on Donnybrook, with both the recent cheerleader brawl, and the John Burroughs/Lutheran North controversy causing disagreement around the table. The Arch was also a major topic that dominated Your Turn, with many callers and tweeters expressing concerns about the lack of accessibility to the new Arch grounds. Oh, and the St. Louis County Chief of Police, Jon Belmar, retired unexpectedly.  

Charlie Brennan debates with Bill McClellan, Wendy Wiese, Alvin Reid and Ray Hartmann this week on topics including Donald Trump's impeachment acquittal, Missouri Governor Mike Parson's donor funded flight to the Super Bowl, and the divide between St. Louis and Kansas City.

Alvin Reid debates with Sarah Fenske, Joe Holleman, Wendy Wiese and Ray Hartmann around the table this week. Who should pay for the settlement for Lt. Wildhaber? Is the Loop Trolley REALLY dead? Is Missouri next for legal marijuana?

Lots of topics that you have heard before make a comeback this week during a shortened Donnybrook because of the Presidential Impeachment Trial. Prop P, Kim Gardner, Loop Trolley, and the Hyperloop all come up for debate in some form this week. The table also discusses the potential of no raises for veterans home workers this year.

On Donnybrook this week, Charlie Brennan debates with Bill McClellan, Wendy Wiese, Alvin Reid and Ray Hartmann on the topics of Governor Parson's State of the State address, Kim Gardner's discrimination lawsuit against the city, Cara Spencer's mayoral bid, and tattoos for state troopers among other topics.

There are no more library fees in St. Louis City or County, you can breath easy now! Do you think that will have the intended effect of making the library more accessible to everyone in the region? Charlie, Alvin, Ray, Wendy, and Bill all debate that, along with other regional topics on this episode of Donnybrook.
