St. Louis Airport Privatization Working Group Fires Embattled Spokesman Douglass Petty

Douglass Petty, the communications manager of the St. Louis Airport Advisory Working Group, has been fired, according to sources close to the matter.

Petty sent an email Monday just after 7 p.m. with the subject line “Terminated As Of Now,” according to an email obtained by St. Louis Public Radio.

The Airport Advisory Working Group, which is exploring the idea of leasing St. Louis Lambert International Airport to a private operator, is expected to put out an announcement Wednesday regarding Petty.

The reason for Petty’s termination has not been released, however, last month Petty’s credibility came into question.
