The discussion covered the results of a fire district proposal in various counties, which failed by a 60-40 margin, except in Maryland Heights and two small St Charles districts. The proposal aimed to levy a 1% sales tax to reduce property taxes by 50%. In St Charles County, conservative candidates lost in Francis Howell, and incumbents were overturned in O'Fallon and St Charles. Proposition RT, a property tax freeze, failed by 60%. In St Louis County, Ellisville's Proposition P passed, and Manchester saw a new mayor elected. The overall turnout was 14%.

CORRECTION: The Ellisville Ballpark proposition required 57% approval, and thus did not pass.
