St. Charles, Missouri -
Jan 25, 2006
Missouri State Representative Sherman Parker will
be a guest Friday, January 27,
on the Kevin Fobbs Radio Show
with host Kevin Fobbs. The show
airs every weekday afternoon
from 2-3 pm (EST) on WDTK-AM
1400 in Detroit. Sherman
Thompson Parker is a Republican
in his second term representing
parts of St. Charles County in
the Missouri House of
Representatives. Representative
Parker will be discussing the
future of African-Americans in
the Republican Party and the
need for the GOP to formulate
more effective outreach efforts
towards the African-American
community. Parker will also be
discussing legislation he has
sponsored establishing a
"Revitalization and
Reconstruction Commission."
Its mission will be to devise a
comprehensive 10-year plan to
alleviate the problems of
blight, deterioration and
declining property values
associated with distressed
urban/suburban areas. The plan
may include incentives to
generate venture capital,
attract developers to build
low-to moderate-income housing
and even create new tourist
attractions. Parker stresses
that "In order for our nation
and state to enjoy the promised
prosperity of the 21st century
global economy, all of our
citizens - especially those who
thus far have been left out -
need to be productive members of
society. To succeed at this
task, we must create
entrepreneurial incentives to
help propel the development of
our older and distressed
communities." In addition to
these important topics, he will
discuss his candidacy for the
United States Congress in
Missouri's second district.
