Welcome!

Gateway Politzania is all about my take on politics, government, and similar related issues in the Gateway City of St. Louis. Missouri, and the surrounding area.

Politics in St. Louis City (which, like most urban centers, is controlled overwhelmingly by the Democratic Party) is often described as a "full contact blood sport".  In many ways, it still reflects the old school, "ward boss" style of politics from the 1950s and 1960s.  Which, given the dynamics of the modern world, makes for some pretty interesting times!

As a Republican living, working, and campaigning here, it can be at times frustrating, maddening, bewildering, hilarious - and often all of the above.

This "blog" will be updated on an irregular schedule, although I'll try to post something at least once a week.

So, sit back, fasten your seatbelts, and prepare for a "no holds barred" ride into Gateway Politzania!
