Feds allege St. Louis aldermen took bribes for developer tax breaks



Protests are being planned, predictions are being made and sadness is spreading across political leaders as news that three high profile leaders of the Black caucus have been indicted on multiple counts of bribery and wire fraud.

Board of Alderman Lewis Reed told 5 On Your Side’s Mark Maxwell Thursday he has no plans of resigning just moments after he was indicted for three federal crimes that could land him a maximum of 15 years in prison.

Almost immediately, political leaders took to Twitter to announce a protest was being planned for Friday morning before Reed is to preside over a Board of Alderman meeting.
