Great. Just great. Still don’t know which St. Louis business organization nominated political consultent Darry Gray, St. Louis, to Missouri Workforce Development Board. I have been informed by Governor Mike Kehoe’s Office that they have no such nominating letter.
Took them eleven days to come to that conclusion.
Gray is a Business Representative of the Board.
Per the Board’s By-Laws, “1) Business representatives are appointed from among individuals who are nominated by local business organizations and business trade associations.”
Gray, better known as a member of the clergy, has a political consulting business called Gray and Gray Associates. Sonya Gray, his wife, Personnel Director for City of St. Louis, was a part of the business until October 2024. I wrote about their business here.
I first Sunshined the Board for the nominating letter(s) and was told they have no record.
Then, I Sunshined the Governor’s Office for the record(s). The Governor’s Office surely knows where board and commission records of Mike Parson, the previous Governor who appointed Gray last year, are located. Right? I wrote about the Governor’s Office initial response here.
Not ready to conclude Governor Parson appointed Darryl Gray to the Board without following the By-Laws, so will Sunshine the Boards and Commissions Director, though neither Workforce Development Board or Governor’s Office suggested that I do that.
Why is it that nearly everyone who handles Sunshine requests does so in the least helpful way possible?
