New Weed & Seed Director

Tue, Jun 19, 2007

Uncategorized

Following the retirement of executive director Kim Norman, Edmund Hennessey has been named the new head of Weed & Seed St. Louis.

According to the Department of Justice’s website, the Weed & Seed initiative involves a two-pronged approach: law enforcement agencies and prosecutors cooperate in “weeding out” violent criminals and drug abusers and public agencies and community-based private organizations collaborate to “seed” much-needed human services, including prevention, intervention, treatment, and neighborhood restoration programs.

The City of St. Louis today has two active Weed & Seed neighborhoods: Hamilton Heights and the West End.

    Why only two? Funding? Does this program produce any measurable results?

    Maybee we should have two weed and seed directors. Like our two school boards. What a joke. The schools need to destroyed and start from scratch. In the mean time give vouchers.
