Mayor Francis Slay and The Community Development Administration Under
Investigation
Mayor Francis Slay, of the City of Louis and the Community Development
Administration is under Federal Investigation by U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development for complaints of discrimination and
violations of the Federal Fair Housing Law.
The Citizens Coalition to Fight Eminent Domain Abuse, a grassroots
organization formed in 2005 to address the abuse of Eminent Domain
particularly in north St. Louis, a primarily African American community.
An audit by HUD's Office of Inspectors General in July of 2006,
revealed the city had failed to use the federal community block grant
money (CDBG) it received for its intended purposes. The Coalition then
filed complaints with the U.S. Department of HUD and the U.S.
Department of Justice.

Date:
02/17/2008 - 3:00pmRecall Slay. Volunteers needed!
Momentum is gathering to recall Mayor Slay. You can help by either signing petitions at polling places or gathering signatures as a volunteer.
Friends,
February 5th is an opportunity to return democratic government to our city. We can get all the signatures needed on February 5th to force a recall election of Francis Slay. I have been part of the recall effort for the past 6 months. Saturday after Saturday a group of us have gone out in north side wards getting signatures. We have 3 of the 19 wards needed.
If we have sufficient petitioners at the polling sites to handle the record turnouts expected, we will get the rest. In the targeted wards it doesn't take much persuading.

A STATE OF EMERGENCY now exists with race relations in St. Louis. The mayor just ousted and publicly humiliated the City’s first and only black fire chief, and then immediately promoted 27 white firefighters, while promoting only 7 blacks – in a city where blacks are 52% of the population.

St. Louisans Rally to Dump Racially Divisive Mayor
From ZMag: An interview with Zaki Baruti
Zaki Baruti interviewed by
Don Fitz
October 25, 2007
The contemptuous demotion of a fire chief ignited unified opposition in St. Louis' Black community. Previously fragmented groups have pulled together whether their focus has been on police violence, employment opportunities, school closings, eminent domain or childhood lead poisoning.
Hundreds of black and dozens of white St. Louisans gathered on the steps of City hall on Sunday October 21 to show their support for former Fire Chief Sherman George and begin steps to recall the mayor responsible for demoting him - Francis Slay. Zaki Baruti is a veteran organizer against police violence. He was one of the rally's organizers.
Don Fitz: When fire chief Sherman George refused to make promotions within the Fire Department, Mayor Slay demoted him in early October. Why was there such an outcry in the Black community?
