Storch to Corbett: You're Outstanding!
Rep. Rachel Storch (D-St. Louis) recognized John Corbett, president of the Missouri State Council of Fire Fighters, as an "Outstanding Missourian" yesterday in the House of Representatives. Corbett, who is a retired University City fire fighter, was critically injured in a car accident in Ireland last November.
"John exemplifies outstanding citizenship," said Storch. "His service as a fire fighter and his dedication and leadership in the community make him the ideal recipient of this award."
During his career, Corbett helped ensure the highest standards of conduct and performance in the field of firefighting through his active participation in the International Association of Fire Fighters, AFL-CIO, Missouri State Council of Fire Fighters, Southern Federation of Fire Fighters, and the State and Provincial Association of Fire Fighters. He extends this dedication to his community through his civic engagement and his leadership in the Dogtown Historical Society, Tamm Avenue/Clayton Neighborhood Association and the 24th Democratic Ward Organization.
Corbett is a three-time delegate to the State Democratic Convention and was recognized by the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Missouri for his fund-raising efforts for research. In addition to his position at the Missouri State Council of Fire Fighters, Corbett has held many other leadership positions in professional organizations.
With Bauer's recall on tap, one wonders whether a fellow like Corbett might be interested in running for Alderman. (He ran against Bauer for State Rep in 96 and narrowly lost.)
Dan Kinney, who just ran unsuccessfully for the school board also lives in the 24th ward, has been mentioned as a possible candidate to challenge Bauer if a recall happens. He would be a good candidate as well, since his entire campaign was based on the closure of Roe school, and the way the city has handled the citizens of this community. Do not know if he is interested though. I would support him, he is a very passionate caring person who seems not afraid to stand up to city hall.
