JEFFERSON CITY, MO. — On Thursday, the Missouri Senate confirmed three department directors appointed during the interim by Gov. Eric Greitens.
Anna Hui was confirmed to the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Rob Dixon to Economic Development and Steve Corsi to Social Services. All have been serving on as acting directors while they awaited Senate confirmation.
Greitens tweeted, “Thanks to the Missouri Senate for confirming three of our directors today. They’re doing great work for our state, and helping to win jobs for Missourians! @MoDOLIRDirector @DixonRob @SteveCorsi.”
The Senate has until Feb. 3 to act on the appointments the Governor made while the General Assembly was not in session. The Associated Press reports that 56 of Greitens’ interim appointments have been confirmed this week. The appointees not acted on by the deadline will be barred from ever serving on that particular board.
