Gov. Jay Nixon's successful effort in 2009 to overhaul the process for awarding contracts for 183 license offices across Missouri was a good move, intended to take politics out of the office. But the law that resulted does not give enough of an edge to nonprofits or civic groups, and local charities in north St. Louis County will suffer as a result. For almost 25 years the Florissant License Office was operated by the Florissant Rotary Club, a nonprofit that says it funneled more than $2 million into food pantries, sheltered workshops and other charities in the area with proceeds from the office.
