No, I'm just familiarizing myself.
I have a couple of things. I'm new on the committee and new to the legislature, and I am finding it very interesting. When I was out campaigning for my first time, I certainly came across individuals who seemed to be struggling a bit with the decision that was brought up about the 58% or 59%. That obviously is a concern. I just want to reiterate that it seemed to be a concern of the department. Then, when you have the board, that large change from what has gone forward, it seems to have raised an issue with some folks I have talked to.
Could I go back? We have a number of vacancies and I'm wondering how we advertise. How do we make sure that it isn't who the person knows and that it's actually a person who should be there, who has the merit, who is not politically tied but has the right credentials--the medical and whatever--and that those individuals are professional people? How can we make sure? Is there a process in place, and can you explain how that actually happens?
