ACTION FOR A BETTER LEMAY
Concord-Lemay Republican Club, 2016 President
This organization is the official Republican club for Lemay and Concord Townships. They provide information on political issues and events and offer the public the opportunity to meet politicians.
No to City-County Merger
Teresa is a founding member of a core group of Common Sense for St Louis to oppose the City-County Merger. Teresa has marched in parades, organized protests and participated in forums to bring attention to the consequences of merging the City and County governments.
Landlord License Bill
Teresa played a key role opposing the Landlord License Bill. She created the Landlord License Bill video to inform the community and encouraged people to speak out at the County Council meetings. The bill would impose $1,000/day fines on anyone that had guests in their home without County approval. A court injunction has put the ordinance on-hold.
No on Prop P
Teresa actively campaigned against Prop P and was part of the Inner Circle on the Vote No on Prop P Campaign. Prop P gave a sales tax to improve the arch grounds. 60% of the tax went to private entities with little or no taxpayer oversight. It also eliminated the parking garage at the arch grounds. It is the first time a municipality has paid taxes to fund a national park.
Oakville Senior Center
Teresa was a member of the core group of Oakville Residents United to oppose the Oakville Senior Center due to issues of cronyism and corruption that bypassed proper zoning processes and created an unsafe environment for seniors and the school children next door at Goddard School.
Crestwood Plaza
Teresa spoke at the Crestwood City Council to present information about legal improprieties by the proposed developer, Centrum Properties. She raised questions of the company’s ethical character and financial stability that resulted in a savings of $8.9 Million by switching to a different development firm.
Missourians Against Agenda 21, Vice President
Teresa is our local authority on Agenda 21 and she has spoken at many symposiums to educate people about property rights issues and how to defend against the Delphi Technique used by stakeholders at public meetings to bypass the will of the people so they can collect grant money. She worked to prevent the Department of Interior White River Blueway takeover of water rights in 1/3 of southern Missouri. The Department of Interior dropped the Blueway designation.
St Louis County Republican Central Committee
Legislative Chairman
As Legislative Chairman, Teresa researches over 2,000 bills presented to the Missouri Legislature each year and provided information and recommendations to the St Louis County Central Committee.one. She also calls attention to any legislation that will affect us at the local level. Some of the legislation she has made public has been bills to merge the City and County as one governmental body.
Great Streets/Complete Streets
Teresa organized a protest against the proposed Dorsett Road Great Streets program. The protest received local television coverage and resulted in many municipalities dropping their Great Streets plans, including Lemay. Maryland Heights decision to significantly reduce their Great Streets plan saved taxpayers over $10 Million. Teresa also spoke out at the St Louis County Council to oppose their Great Streets program which will cost St Louis County taxpayers over $2 Billion.
Campaigning for Republicans
Teresa was the Lemay Coordinator for the Brunner for Senate campaign. She worked on campaigns and fundraisers for Senator Jim Lembke, Tony Pousosa, Jennifer Bird, Bill Randles, Randy Jotte, Sen. Rob Schaaf, US Rep. Ann Wagnor, US Sen. Roy Blunt, and many other Republican candidates.
Taxpayer Protection from Public-Private Partnerships
Teresa met with Harry Otto, former State Assessor Deputy to present concerns about the lack of oversight of Private entities receiving public funds. She worked with him and other state legislators to enact a bill that extends the authority of the State Assessor to audit private companies that receive public funds.
Fundraising for Republican Candidates
Teresa serves on the Lincoln-Reagan Day Committee. This committee organizes the largest Republican fundraiser banquet in St Louis County. The funds ultimately go to help Republican candidates in St Louis County win their elections. This year, Teresa created a video to honor our Military families. She also worked on the marketing committee for the Republican Governors Forum in April 2016.
The Honorable Teresa Douglas, Committeewoman in the Lemay Township. 30:44 – 34.14
8208 Weimar Dr., St. Louis, MO, 63123.
“Hello. My name’s Teresa Douglas, I’m a Committeewoman in the Lemay Township, Mr. Stenger’s district. I’m asking you to stop this Complete Streets program today. There are so many things that have not been disclosed to the public. For example, you mention in there that you’re going to allow for facilities management: what facilities are going to be built with this Complete Streets program?
You mention that a study will be done, yet everything that I read in here keeps saying we will comply with Complete Streets and it’s going to happen with or without the study. It says that the only time that we’re going to NOT abide by that is if it’s for routine maintenance or ITS mass transit. So we’re going to do it whether the study says it’s going to be expensive or not, or not feasible.
It talks about building mass transit stops. How much is just that going to cost? Has there been any cost analysis of this?
The facilities: I’m wondering is that anything like the Oakville Living Center that has to comply with the St. Louis County strategic plan?
Has any one spoken with the truckers? Has anyone spoken with the Teamster’s Union because they’re under a mandate to increase the length of their trucks? As it is, they can’t get around all these roundabouts. They have to drive over the curbs. They’re knocking down street signs. I’m hearing from truckers that they can’t even get in to make their deliveries. You’ve narrowed the street down to put in bike lanes. How are you going to tell people that their grocery store is closing down because they can’t get merchandise?
I have a report from the Institute of Transportation Studies at UCLA that this is going to create congestion. They’re saying that’s OK because that’s going to be good for the bicyclists. Is congestion good for the community? Is a business going to want to build in St. Louis in a more congested environment?
Berkeley University out in California is working to defeat this because of the congestion problems this has created.”
