funny, i dont hear chamber execs in Northeast ohio genuinely embrace immigration and talent, regardless of where its from.....St. Louis Regional Chamber President Joe Reagan then evoked civic efforts to boost educational achievement and attract more immigrants. He also addressed the situation in Ferguson, saying it’s an opportunity, “while the eyes of the world are upon us in this tragedy, to be honest as we work together to build a better tomorrow....” He relayed a story about Thomas Edison getting fired and leaving Louisville, Ky., which was Reagan’s last stop before St. Louis. “You know, more intellectual capital per capita left town that day than has lived there since,” he joked. “We don’t want that to happen the next time Thomas Edison is fired for experimenting on the job in St. Louis,” which is why he said St. Louis needs to encourage innovation. stlouis.cbslocal/2014/09/11/wash-u-asks-silicon-valley-alumni-to-give-home-a-second-look/#.VBh-6-xZ78g.gmail
