Missouri: St. Louis mayor facing recall effort led by two Alderman over merger plan

Mayor Lyda Krewson is facing a petition effort over her support for a plan to merge St. Louis and St. Louis County. The recall effort is led by Aldermen Brandon Bosley and John Collins-Muhammad. Petitioners would need about 39,000 signatures to get the recall on the ballot. The president of the Board of Alderman would step up to the mayoralty until a replacement race.
