Tonight, I attended the 6th Ward executive committee meeting at Pestalozzi Place. I was accompanied by three members who will be disallowed from voting if the committeeman has his way. Also in attendance were a few of my supporters and members of the press. The executive committee decided to table the motion of removing 6th Ward members until Wednesday. The meeting will take place at a private residence, and I have been instructed to not bring any members who would be affected by this action. I want you to know that at I am committed to keeping our organization fair, open, and inclusive. I will always stand up for what I believe is right
[...] Tonight I had dinner at the lovely Pestalozzi Place restaurant, conveniently at the same time the executive committee of the 6th Ward Democracts were having a dinner meeting. At issue were a large number of new members that Kacie Starr Triplett brought to the organization. The executive committee, including opponent Patrick Cacchione, have suggested something is not right and wants most if not all the new members banned from voting at the endorsement meeting next month. Triplett has a brief comment on her campaign website. I have to say, if Kacie Starr Triplett thought she had a chance at getting the ward endorsement over the committeeman, Patrick Cacchione, she was kidding herself. Yes, she is on the executive committee but not as the committeewoman. You see Kacie, this is St. Louis and here we dutifully wait our turn. Your hard work and dedication has been noted and that is why you were given a leadership position but it is the committeewoman and committeeman that are the next in line to become Alderman. Once the committeewoman decides she no longer wants the position you coudl have been considered so that you’d be next up. Basically Kacie, you are being insubordinate for stepping out of line — shame on you. But at least you are not as rude as that Christian Saller guy — he just blows off the ward stuff altogether. [...]
