Economic Development Agencies in St. Louis
I have always wondered about Economic Development Agencies. Lately there appears to be great turmoil at the Regional Chamber directed toward its’ President Joe Regan. All I know about that is what I read in the newspapers The Post had an extensive story about it today. What is curious to me is that apparently Mr. Regan’s alleged abusive behavior was also evident in his previous job in Louisville. Why did they hire him? Did they check his background?
More important, what do these agencies accomplish? They provide huge salaries to their staff, but what are the certifiable outcomes? What have been their legislative accomplishments in Jefferson City? I am going to write more about this topic in the future with data to back me up. I would like to hear of your experiences with these organizations
