The St. Louis Board of Aldermen is considering a proposal to raise the salary cap for the next director of St. Louis Lambert International Airport from $208,000 to $650,000 a year. This proposal comes as the airport has been without a permanent director for two months following the retirement of the previous leader. The legislation has passed out of committee and now moves to the full Board of Aldermen for final approval.
