ST. LOUIS COUNTY • Two more area municipalities have gone on record opposing the Better Together plan to combine St. Louis and St. Louis County.

The Town and Country Board of Aldermen, in a resolution adopted Monday night, said the plan appears to assign most tax revenues to the new proposed metro government, a move it said would “possibly leave Town and Country with no revenue at all.” Aldermen instead endorsed a move by the Municipal League of Metro St. Louis to establish a Board of Freeholders to undertake an effort to reform local government.

The Des Peres Board of Aldermen, also meeting Monday, adopted a similar resolution opposing the Better Together plan, claiming the plan, by redirecting sales and use taxes, would leave Des Peres with an annual deficit of nearly $7 million a year. Des Peres officials also oppose putting the matter on a statewide ballot, calling it “nothing short of an attempt to circumvent the citizens of St. Louis City and St. Louis County.”
