His appointment must be confirmed by the Senate, and is for a term that will expire in 2011.

"Deron Cherry understands the importance of the Jackson County Sports

Blunt said. "This is a time of great change for the sports complex and Deron r>brings the right mix of personal and professional experience to help lead
this important commission into the future."
As with most of the governor's appointments, Cherry is also a contributor to his campaign. Missouri Ethics Commission documents show Cherry contributed $500 to Missourians for Matt Blunt on Dec. 28, 2005.
