Hispanics want Blunt chief fired - Missouri

“Some Hispanic groups called for Gov. Matt Blunt’s chief of staff to be fired today for a remark they say was offensive but that the governor’s office says has been misinterpreted.

Blunt’s chief of staff, Ed Martin, remains on the job. But a state employee offended by his comment has resigned.

At issue is a remark Martin made during an Aug. 17 meeting of the Missouri Housing Development Commission while Martin was representing Blunt as a member of the board.”
