Thomas M. Meyer's appointment to the Southeast Missouri State University Board of Regents was confirmed in the Senate on Jan. 25, 2012. Governor Jay Nixon appointed Thomas M. Meyer, of Cape Girardeau in Dec. 2011. His term will last until Jan. 1, 2018. Pictured are Missouri State Representative Terry Swinger, Meyer and his wife Mary Meyer at the Capitol.(Photo provided)
The appointment caused no commentary during a meeting of the Gubernatorial Appointments Committee and was approved as part of a slate of about two dozen appointees considered.
The appointment was then approved by the full Senate, along with other appointments, in a voice vote.
As they rose from the desk in front of the committee, state Sen. Jason Crowell joked to Meyer: "I told you they wouldn't pick on you just because I was your sponsoring senator."
