The podcast discusses two significant local stories. First, the Francis Howell School District's hiring and subsequent resignation of Superintendent Mike Dominguez. Dominguez was announced in March 2025, but resigned on July 11, 2025, citing family needs. He received a $229,200 to $250,000 settlement and was hired as an assistant superintendent in Oklahoma. The board voted unanimously to accept the settlement. Second, St. Louis County Executive Sam Page was indicted for four criminal counts related to using county funds to oppose Prop B. The indictment was brought by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. Both stories highlight issues of transparency, political dynamics, and community reactions.
