Your County Council thoroughly reviewed, discussed and then passed a budget for 2020 that was presented to us by the County Executive and his staff. It is one of the tightest County Government has ever seen.

After a year of economic growth and low unemployment, why is this the case? It’s because local governments are unable to collect sales tax from all online purchases. This isn’t a situation unique to St. Charles County, but that doesn’t make it any easier for us.

Summer is here, which means road construction, repairs, striping and more are in full swing throughout St. Charles County. While we are all excited to get out and enjoy the warmer weather, driving recklessly through road work zones can have deadly consequences. Driving safely and being aware of road projects will keep us all safe.

Halloween is over and it’s almost Christmas! These weeks ahead of the holiday are a time to reflect on the “reason for the season” as well as prepare for events and the precious family traditions many of us hold dear. It also is a time to give to those who are less fortunate. If you are looking for ways to enjoy all this hustle, bustle and fun, St. Charles County has programs to help make this Christmas your family’s best yet!
