Emanuel has 25 years leadership experience at social justice institutions but quit St Petersburg job after 23 days...

A Florida city's first chief equity officer resigned less than a month into her $185,000-a-year job without explanation.

Lenice C. Emanuel's first day at St. Petersburg City Hall was Oct. 2. Just 23 days later, she submitted her resignation letter to Mayor Ken Welch.

"Thank you for the opportunity to serve as the City’s Chief Equity Officer," Emanuel wrote in the letter obtained by the Tampa Bay Times. "Wishing you and your team the very best in your future endeavors."

...

Emanuel was the first person to hold the executive position in the mayor's cabinet, a job that took over two years to create and fill, according to the St. Pete Catalyst.

City spokesperson Alizza Punzalan-Randle said administrators have already started working to fill the role.

"We wish her success in her future endeavors," Punzalan-Randle told Fox News. "The chief equity officer role supports Mayor Welch’s intentional push for inclusive progress."

...

Prior to accepting her job with the city, Emanuel served for eight years as executive director of the Alabama Institute for Social Justice, a nonprofit focused on racial justice and reconciliation in Alabama.

She’s a very attractive-looking black woman. Must have gotten a better offer somewhere else.

Took her a whole month to figure out that scamming a city government was harder than scamming a non-profit.

> $185,000-a-year job <

Sounds good. And since the equity job is now open, I think I’ll apply.
My mission will be to force St Petersburg to hire more conservatives.

Oops! Perhaps I shouldn’t mention that until my contract is signed.

This is often indicative of a little birdie whispering into her ear about a possible criminal indictment.

People don't just quit $185k/yr do-nothing jobs without good reason.

Stay tuned!

$12,761 for 25 days work isn’t chump change.

See my post above.

Whad'ya wanna bet there were some shady kickbacks, graft, or embezzlement going on in Alabama that's now coming to light?

Made basically $14K or $15K for not even a full month’s worth of non-work.

...because she found out that the $185,000-a-year job wasn't really $185,000 but instead that she'd get $85k and kick up $100k to the Democrat party bosses.

The Democrats have been doing that on the taxpayer dime for more than a century.

I’d say that is almost certainly not the reason
