Blunt stops in Belgium to meet with InBev execs
Already on his way overseas when the Anheuser-Busch deal was announced this week, Gov. Matt Blunt has made a detour to visit the new brewmasters. Blunt, taking part in a previously planned trade trip to Europe, stopped at InBev headquarters in Leuve, Belgium today to meet with company officials who will soon call the shots in Bud land.”InBev will soon be a major employer in Missouri and today I met with their executive team to discuss my desire to help them grow the company in Missouri,” Blunt said in a statement.A-B, Blunt added, “has grown and thrived in our state because of the hard work, dedication and loyalty of the men and women of Anheuser-Busch. It was a priority for me to go to Belgium and meet with InBev officials personally so I could begin to build this relationship with them and help Anheuser-Busch continue to thrive in our state.”Blunt was one of many Missouri public officials who opposed the takeover. He had asked, to no avail, state and federal regulators to intervene.




Is Blunt seeking employment with InBev maybe? He is only in office until January? How does he plan on helping InBev grow the company in Missouri?
