On Blunt appointments, no last-minute shockers — yet

Blunt

Gov. Matt Blunt made a round of appointments this week, among the last that he’ll make as his term comes to close.

But don’t look for any shockers here — just yet, anyway. The board and commission vacancies that Blunt filled on Tuesday are about as tame as it gets.

Russell K. Mason, chief of the Central County Fire Protection District in St. Peters, joins the 911 Service Advisory Committee. Bob Bess, the former mayor of Crestwood, was named to a small business regulatory board.

Kenneth E. Meyer, a major Missouri State booster from Blunt’s hometown of Springfield, was tapped for the state Wine and and Grape board.

Will that be all for the lame duck governor — or will he make more appointments before the moving vans pull up?
