Not filing for Democrat. Right at the last moment, another black woman, Denise Watson Wesley-Coleman, filed. At the filing office, MAIDA Coleman held an “impromptu” press conference, announcing that because of this “plant”, she WOULD BE filing for the general election, NOT the Democratic Primary.
Seeing as Ms. Coleman has never seen fit to answer any of the eMails or letters I have sent her regarding her position on issues that are important to the ninja community, I’m encouraging Gary Coleman to run under the Independent ticket as well…
The story in the P-D was absolutely stunning. Maida Coleman represented zero danger to Slay and his job as mayor. Her chance of winning was zero. So the question is: what kind of a monster is Slay that he hires and inflicts on St. Louis his bully boy and monster Jeff Rainford, who orchestrated this? Why is Slay so insecure that he needs somebody like Rainford, among others, to terrorize anybody and everybody? Supporters of Slay get exactly what they deserve: a dog in the manger administration. And we know a couple of things about Denise Watson Wesley Coleman: she is a liar and she has absolutely no integrity, and we sure hope she gets a good job – or some other reward, hopefully at taxpayer expense – in city government when Slay gets re-elected.
To all of you who don’t believe Senator Maida Coleman doesn’t have the city St. Louis at heart. I’m a police office for the city of St. Louis, Mo. I have one question to ask you. Do you know dangerous it is to be an officer in the city of St. Louis? We are not only praying ….each day or night working the streets of this city; but to get Slay administration to increase our salary, that’s bad enough, it’s another challenge. Senator Maida Coleman has my support “100 %. Thanks for fighting for the Police Officers’ of St. Louis, Mo. Senator Coleman.

St. Louis police officers ask state for raise
February 23, 2005
By: Megan Clarke
State Capital Bureau
Going beyond the city government, St. Louis Police Officers are asking the state for a raise.
Megan Clarke explains why this city issue is being dealt with by state legislators.
Senator Maida Coleman from St. Louis went before her fellow state senators to ask if police officers from her district could get a raise.
Which may seem like an odd request. In most cities, the local board of alderman or city council decides on such raises.
But fearing political influence and corruption, St. Louis has given the authority to state legislators since 1939.
Senator Coleman says some legislators don’t appreciate making decisions for the city.
I ACTUALLY GET AN ATTITUDE WHEN I HAVE TO STAND BEFORE MY COLLEAGUES AND ASK THEM FOR SOMETHING YOUR CITIES CAN DO ON YOUR OWN AND TAKE FOR GRANTED.
Coleman says she is working on the city eventually taking back the authority.
While the state decides the salary levels, St. Louis pays for it.
The state has not given the St. Louis police officers a raise in three years.
St. Louis police officers want a raise. But they have to go to Jefferson City to ask for it. Megan Clarke explains.
The city of St. Louis pays its local police officers salaries, but the state decides when they get a raise.
To avoid political influence and corruption, the city of St. Louis decided in 1939 to allow state legislators, who are removed from city politics, to make such salary decisions.
The procedure has continued for more than 65 years.
The bill’s sponsor Senator Maida Coleman hopes St. Louis will soon take back control.
Coleman: I’M A BIG SUPPORTER OF LOCAL CONTROL AND MAYBE ONE OF THESE DAYS I’LL BE ABLE TO COME BACK TO YOU AND SAY WE’RE GOING TO HANDLE ALL THESE THINGS OURSELVES IN ST. LOUIS CITY.
The proposed bill asks for about a $1400 salary raise.
The state gave St. Louis police officers a raise three years ago.
Proposed bills in the state house and senator are asking for a raise for St. Louis police officers.
Megan Clarke explains why a city issue is decided by the state.
In most cities, the board of alderman or city council decides the salaries of local law enforcement.
But since 1939 the state has determined St. Louis police officers salaries.
St. Louis Representative Tom Villa says the city gave the authority to the state to avoid local political influence and corruption.
Senator Maida Coleman from St. Louis says some state legislators are apprehensive to make such city decisions. It’s been three years since the state granted a raise for St. Louis police officers.
St. Louis, Mo. School System – Many of you doesn’t know Senator Coleman. That’s why it’s so important for the parents to be involved in your children’s’ education. Many of you should read article from Jefferson City, Mo. to see how Senator Coleman spent her time at the capitol……..Yes, fighting for the city of St. Louis, Mo.
To the parents who have students that attend the St. Louis schools- Why do you allow a “hillbilly” from Branson, Mo. to insult you and belittle your children?
Wake up St. Louis… I thought this was the Show Me State! Vote—Maida 4 Mayor!!!

State Senator Maida Coleman (D-St. Louis City) today voted against the reappointment of Peter Herschend of Branson to the State Board of Education. Coleman spoke against the nomination for more than 40 minutes in committee Wednesday and for nearly an hour on the Senate floor today before he was eventually confirmed by the Republican-controlled senate. She released this statement afterwards:
In the committee hearing yesterday, Mr. Herschend told me I should be embarrassed of my school district Sen. Coleman said. I think Mr. Herschend should be embarrassed that he has decided to play politics with the children of my district. He should be embarrassed that he callously disenfranchised the citizens of my district by turning control of the St. Louis School District over to the state.
In March 2007, the St. Louis Public Schools lost their accreditation when the State Board of Education voted 5-1 to rescind the accreditation after concluding that the district had met only four of the state’s 14 academic performance measures. Peter Herschend was serving as President of the State Board of Education when the decision to strip the school district of local control was made.
At the time the state board voted to classify the St. Louis Public Schools as unaccredited, several other school districts possessed 2006 Annual Performance Review ratings that were equal to or below the scores assigned to the St. Louis City School District. It makes me wonder why Mr. Herschend has taken no action to reclassify other low-performing school districts, Sen. Coleman said.
There seems to be no apprehension by Mr. Herschend or the Board that they are disenfranchising the voters of a predominantly black city. We are still forced to pay taxes, so we have taxation without representation. Additionally, Sen. Coleman expressed reservations about any person serving such a lengthy term on a state board or commission. Peter Herschend has served on the State Board of Education for 16 years, and with his confirmation by the Senate today, will serve another eight years on the board. Is it a good idea to allow anyone to sit on what is arguably the most important board in state government for 24 years?
Sen. Coleman asked her colleagues on the Senate floor today. If someone were to serve the maximum amount of time in the General Assembly, they could only serve 16 years. If the citizens of Missouri think it’s a good idea to limit the terms of their elected representatives, surely the length of service of an unelected official should be limited as well, especially one who wields so much influence over our children’s education.

Not filing for Democrat. Right at the last moment, another black woman, Denise Watson Wesley-Coleman, filed. At the filing office, MAIDA Coleman held an “impromptu” press conference, announcing that because of this “plant”, she WOULD BE filing for the general election, NOT the Democratic Primary.
My own take on this: Disgusting move by Slay.
if you really think Slay did this…you really are clueless.
Hey, I have enough of a clue to not trust Slay one bit, Anonymous.
It is an age-old tactic used here in good old St. Louis.
Seeing as Ms. Coleman has never seen fit to answer any of the eMails or letters I have sent her regarding her position on issues that are important to the ninja community, I’m encouraging Gary Coleman to run under the Independent ticket as well…
