C. J. Huff: I want those Salvation Army millions

A recent KSDK St. Louis report said that the Salvation Army has $5 million that was contributed following the May 22, 2011, Joplin Tornado that has not been spent and C. J. Huff wants it.

Huff told the Joplin R-8 Board of Education during its afternoon work session Tuesday that the Salvation Army millions could be used to keep his Project Hope afloat.

Project Hope was funded through a grant and like so many other R-8 initiatives that begin with grant money, no plans are being made to shut it down now that the grant money is gone.

Project Hope brought counselors into the schools to help students and teachers who were still suffering from the after-effects of the tornado. Talk in recent months has been about transitioning the initiative to keep students from dropping out.

Huff claims that Project Hope has helped more than 1,300 students and 50 teachers.

Huff asked that anyone who has connections with the Salvation Army put in a good word for Project Hope.

    Hey Huff you need to read your favorite rag sheet the Globe. The people donated the money to the Salvation Army for housing of the victims of the tornado, not to finance your crap. Remember Huffy your not a victim of the tornado, and you need to stop victimizing those around you.

    Renae White's salary? 99,000 a year. How many Project Hype people are there? Hard to say. Too many. Doing what, no one really knows.

    You might as well give it to him. He'll get it anyway. Save your breath and watch those dollars get blown away in the wind like the tax dollars.

    Most of the teachers and staff I know wouldn't talk to those people. We all figured they're just more spies.

    to 9:05AM- Don't you even go to Renee White!!! Do you know that woman???? I DO! She works NIGHT AND DAY to help people. She is the one is responsible for starting Children's Haven. I know why she started it too. She has met with me on several occasions just to help me pick the right school and path and she didn't have to do that. She is an honest, loving person. She volunteers, works hard, and constantly gives as much as she can. If that is what she makes, she EARNS every penny, I can assure you of that! I have known her and her family for YEARS!
