Nancy Spewak gets into the business aspects of running a highly-successful suburban community.
Yesterday, Spewak talked about her views concerning city leadership. Today, she gets down to the nitty gritty of working with developers, getting things done while moving the City forward. Patch: Does the Mayor get involved in any business development projects for the city? Spewak: As the Mayor, I would offer the city’s help in any way we can to a land owner or property landlord to hear from the mayor and the council the benefits of locating in Ladue.

Nearly one month into the new position as Mayor of the City of Ladue, Nancy Spewak dropped everything and sat down for a lengthy one-on-one interview.

Snafu in vote certification puts off installation of Nancy Spewak by day or two.
Technically speaking, Anthony “Tony” Bommarito is still the mayor of Ladue. He was to pass the gavel Monday afternoon to councilwoman Nancy Spewak who won the April 2 election unopposed. However, the St. Louis County Board of Election Commissioners has still not certified the results, so Spewak will not be sworn into office until sometime today or Wednesday. The event does not require convening another meeting. Likely, installation of Spewak and new council member Bill Brennan will be re-enacted at the next regularly-scheduled meeting in May. Bommarito, who just presided over his last meeting took the opportunity to thank the community and his fellow council members and city employees. “First, I want to thank our residents who elected me …
