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.

Scandal. Something big happened and they allowed her to leave.

“ In his Sept. 26 statement to announce her hiring, Welch touted Emanuel as a “veteran nonprofit leader” with over 25 years in management, government, fund development and community relations.”

So, she’s a community organizer. I wonder if she worked for Acorn.

I would love that job. I would do absolutely nothing. It would take years for anyone to find out.

This whole article, and its subject, is like standing next to an old cesspool on a hot summer’s day when the cap is removed...

“a nonprofit focused on racial justice and reconciliation.” Waste of time. Race is exterior feature of people and takes five minutes to learn about. Justice takes thirty days to learn about since there are distributive, corrective, legal and natural forms of justice. Everyone wants equal shares and people who get too many shares will be punished by a judge here or a Judge there.

Is every big city mayor black these days? It’s unbelievable how overrepresented these folks seem to be. Police chiefs too. They really need a “chief equity officer?” Such oppression.

There’s no accounting for individual taste. And truth is 99 percent of females are closet commies anyway, they just don’t know it.

Your FR screen name precedes you and fits you to a tee. Doubt however you even know what it means, else you wouldn’t have chosen it to begin with.
