Nixon creates 'Office of Community Engagement' in wake of Ferguson
St Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | 9/18/2014

Posted on 09/18/2014 5:49:49 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

Gov. Jay Nixon today announced the creation of a state "Office of Community Engagement," which will focus on issues in minority and low-income communities in the wake of the Ferguson riots.

Nixon appointed former Missouri state Sen. Maida Coleman as director of the new office. Former St. Louis City Municipal Judge Marvin Teer was appointed deputy director and general counsel.

Coleman will be paid $120,000 annually and Teer will be paid $110,000 annually.

“Across our state, Missouri communities are facing serious issues involving race, educational and economic opportunities, and poverty,” Nixon said in a written statement. The new office, he said, “will be responsible for facilitating meaningful communication about these issues that will yield concrete results . . . and help to develop specific policies to address them.”

Under an executive order Nixon signed today, the new office will be housed within the state Office of Administration. Its duties will include "engaging communities, public and private sector leaders, clergy and citizens across the state in communication regarding critical issues affecting Missouri communities," according to the statement.

Blacks are only outraged till they get paid. Then the outrage goes away.

I severely doubt any black person in America actually feels real outrage about race. Just a way to grift money.

I work for the state of Missouri, and just about everybody I talk to agrees that Jedediah Nixon is the most corrupt governor of the past fifty years. He is in the same league as Rod Blagovich.

Hey, they can pay me nothing and I'll solve all their problems right now: Unless you are verifiably disabled you look for a job every single day you are on welfare. You give written statements from verifiable employers that you went on an interview EVERY SINGLE DAY you are on welfare. It's absolutely insane to me how someone can sit on their ass for an entire YEAR on welfare without having to produce one single solitary shred of evidence that they are looking for work. This is in New York BTW the sewer hole of liberalism in the east coast. I don't know what it is like in other states, but it is just absolutely outrageous what taxes are supporting in this country. How many people also know that in New York you can get a hardship "loan" of $2500??? I say "loan" because they are never ever paid back. The problem is Democrats have decimated the black community by training them that they are "owed" things rather than having to WORK for them and that is the source of ALL these problems.

Exactly what it is, EXACTLY!! If Michael Brown was shot by a gangbanger does anyone in their right mind think there would be looting, rioting, protests, marches, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and all this other crap? It is ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL about “gettin paaayyyyed boooooiiiii”. Police = government = MONEY which is why they do all this flip out crap. Same with the Trayvon Martin case. Little Trayvon with his Skittles and ice tea could have been walking home and shot in the head by a gangbanger in the street and nobody would have said squat. But once it’s in a gated community and by an “employee” of the gated community then those $$$$$$ start flashing. Absolutely pathetic and transparent as it gets.

Just one more reason for business owners to pull up stakes and move out of the state.

Typical Democrat sleight of hand that accomplishes nothing. Yet will millions in taxpayer dollars.

Does it never end?

Honest to G, I’m turning into a racist! I am sick to death of this S.

I am never considered non-racist, so why shouldn’t I hate in return? I’m finding it harder and hard to come up with a good answer.

Okay, this comes to mind, but it isn’t true.

Honestly, I can’t give you a good reason why not at this time. What is true, is that I am a white male, and I am always going to be seen as a racist.

Talk about your racism. There it is on a platter.

Yes, and he is not alone.

The mis-handling of the Medicaid Managed Care Contract proved that beyond all doubt to the benefit of an Insurance Company that contributed heavily to his and a number of other legislative campaigns, and resulted in a reduction in choice for the consumers.
