JEFFERSON CITY — Following this morning’s announcement that St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay would not seek a new term next year, State Senator Jamilah Nasheed, D-St. Louis, led the charge in recognizing the Mayor for his service to the city:
“I want to thank Mayor Slay for his lifetime of service to our city, state and region. The mayor and I have not seen eye-to-eye on every issue, but we have agreed on the issues that matter. When it comes to advancing the City of St. Louis, Mayor Slay and I have always been on the same team. As a mayor, he will be remembered as a true public servant, and I wish him prosperity in his future endeavors.”
