Hazel Erby Fired as Director of Diversity of St. Louis County
This deal really smells. Erby an African American long time Councilwoman from north St. Louis County was a favorite to be County Executive when Steve Stenger stepped down. Sam Page edged her out for the job and she was given the Diversity Director job as a payoff to keep her quiet. Now that the primaries are over and Page is all but guaranteed election, he has fired her. I guess she no longer serves a purpose. Her competence and the purpose of the job in the first place are both important issues which have not been addressed. Written by Paul Dribin
