📰 News we're reading
• O'Fallon reverses course on 276-home project, approves McBride Homes' Caballo Farms (stltoday.com) — O’Fallon’s City Council has reversed its earlier decision and now approved McBride Homes’ 276-home Caballo Farms development on the city’s southwestern edge, just days after the builder filed suit. While many article details are garbled by formatting, the core takeaway is that a large new subdivision is moving forward, with clear implications for nearby traffic, schools, and growth in O’Fallon. 
• WSIE steps into a new era with a stronger signal (stlamerican.com) — Listeners in O’Fallon may notice jazz station WSIE 88.7 coming in clearer, thanks to a long-planned new transmitter and tower at SIUE in Edwardsville. Station leaders say the stronger signal now reliably reaches suburbs like O’Fallon and Chesterfield, supporting student training, volunteer shows, and a broader regional audience for jazz and related music.
