A bill is pending that will determine if STL City firefighters and police officers will be able to move out of the city. This has been an on-going problem within both departments for a while now. Many firefighters and policemen have continuously complained about the city's conditions and how they should be able to decide whether or not they want to stay in the city.
STL is also in danger of major floods because FEMA has failed to check the levees in the Metro East St. Louis area. This is not the first time FEMA has failed to secure cities from major water damage. The same thing occurred in Louisiana and that's why New Orleans had to go through the catastrophic results of Hurricane Katrina. This is a major issue because St. Louis's main weather threats come from floods.
Another issue facing STL is he amount of pregnant high school girls. It seems that the number of them is growing and why? Maybe abstinence in the sexual education classes are not enough. We should start by creating more effective curriculums in sexual education classes. A lot of girls believe that they already know about sex but then some find out the hard way that they don't. By educating them, maybe we can prevent it.
