A panel appointed to study social and economic issues following the unrest in Ferguson last year has approved almost 100 recommendations as part of a report that eventually will be sent to the governor.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that among the "calls to action" approved by the Ferguson Commission last night was a measure supporting municipal court reform. One measure said the Missouri Supreme Court should supervise local courts and that they be consolidated to an "appropriate number."
The commission will decide which of the calls to action, plus those that were previously approved, will be presented to Gov. Jay Nixon as "signature priorities."
Nixon swore in commission members in 2014 and charged them with issuing a report with specific policy recommendations by September.
