Consumers Council of Missouri was proud to participate in a meaningful and well-attended Communities First STL meeting in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Communities First serves as one of our advisory groups and plays an important role in guiding our community engagement and advocacy work across St. Louis.

The meeting was facilitated by Antonio Weston, Community Engagement Coordinator and Social Media Lead for Consumers Council of Missouri. Spencer Gould, Special Assistant to the Commissioner, along with the billing manager and representatives from St. Louis City Water, joined residents to share updates on the city’s water assistance program, lead service line inventory, and available payment plan options through the Collector of Revenue’s Office.

More than 30 residents took part in an open and energetic conversation. Community members raised thoughtful questions about water service and affordability, and Spencer Gould provided clear, detailed responses. Additional perspectives and support were offered by Alderman Rasheen Aldridge and John Coffman, Legal Counsel for Consumers Council of Missouri.

This meeting reflects CCM’s commitment to showing up for communities and ensuring residents have access to accurate information, meaningful dialogue, and opportunities to shape the policies that affect their daily lives.

Consumers Council of Missouri will continue working to level the playing field for all Missouri consumers.

Join Ed Weisbart, MD, former Board President of the Consumers Council of MO, for an informative Zoom webinar on selecting a Medicare plan that is right for you.

It’s that time of year again. Our TVs are full of corporate ads for Medicare Advantage. They promise “zero premiums,” “hearing and vision,” “free dental,” and more. You or your parents are about to make a major decision, one that will impact your personal health and finances for years to come. We at Consumers Council have nothing to sell you, so we can help you look behind the ads and biased brokers to really understand your options.

Featuring Ed Weisbart, MD, the national board secretary and MO chapter chair of Physicians for a National Health Program, a non-profit non-partisan organization of more than 25,000 physicians and other healthcare advocates in support of a publicly financed, non-profit single-payer national health insurance program that would fully cover medical care for all Americans.
