Inspection delays means the business may not be able to open on time.
Ask a foremen on the job at the Family Dollar construction site at 9435 Olive Blvd. and you get a sense of frustration. Olivette oursources nearly all of its inspections, mechanical, electrical and plumbing to St. Louis County. Seems getting these inspectors coordinated can be a dicy issue. The work crew would like to finish up the installation of celing tiles. But until electrical lines are inspected, no go on this. The tile floor has been laid and the the place covered with drywall, but that's about it. The work is far from done when crews can set up shelves and stack sellable items. Carlos Trejo of the Olivette Building department is aware of all these issues. He knows pulling different inspectors together at the same time can be …

One by one, folks are queuing up to a trailer and display on the parking lot of Stacy Park in Olivette.

Marketing people think this car will storm America. Its safer than a motor cycle or a all terrain vehicle and even costs the same or less. There are no test rides yet. This is just a demonstration engine under the hood. But come see for yourself through today (May …

The Marketplace Fairness Act was approved in the U.S. Senate, and is headed for the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives. The bill would require merchants to collect sales taxes on online purchases.
It's called the "Marketplace Fairness Act" and supporters say it levels the playing field between online retailers and brick-and-mortar stores by requiring online merchants to pay sales taxes to the states, counties and localities where they have done business. Opponents include anti-tax activists and retailers who say it will be overly burdensome—in fact, nearly impossible, they say, to keep track of the tax rates and tax requirements for the myriad of taxing agencies where they may be doing business. The Marketplace Fairness Act passed the U.S. Senate 69-27 on Monday. Next up, the legislation goes to the GOP-led House. President Barack Obama has previously said he supports the bill. Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, voted for …
