Also, when the board decides that these cases are closed because the person has left, as in the case of Cassano, the former board member, why is the complainant offered the choice of continuing with their hearing based on the findings of the board member who has left? Why are they even given that choice?
If you want to ensure that the applicant has a fair hearing, given that there's an outstanding complaint for that case and given the findings of that case and the work that has been done for that case, why would you even consider continuing with a new board member?
