Comptroller Green On Money Matters, Power Plays And Political Possibilities

Green is the city's chief fiscal officer and one of the longest-serving comptrollers in modern history. Green discussed her unlikely transition into electoral politics (which Mannies detailed in a 2011 profile), her relationship with Mayor Francis Slay and Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed as well as some initiatives she’s launched recently. She also talked at length about her role as vice chair of the Missouri Democratic Party – and efforts to recruit African-American candidates to run for statewide office.
