Lose a shot at a county council seat, get a seat on the tourism board.
Nicole Greer, who lost to state Rep. Gretchen Bangert in the Democratic primary in August for a seat on the ºüÀêÊÓƵ County Council, has been named to the Regional Convention and Visitors Commission.
Greer was Tuesday by County Executive Sam Page — who Bangert said offered her a job to get her to drop out of the 2nd District race and clear the way for Greer to succeed outgoing Councilwoman Kelli Dunaway.
Bangert said Page tried several times to get her to take a job with the county, which would have prohibited her from also holding a elected office in the county. Bangert turned the recording and other information over to federal authorities, who have not commented on the matter.

Page previously has said he offered jobs to both Bangert and Greer in the hope of avoiding a contentious race between two Democrats.
A former Creve Coeur City Council member, Greer will serve a four-year term on the tourism commission, which is an unpaid position.
