I got a couple of calls from family members today who saw TV coverage of me in the Governor’s office last week when the Governor held a press conference to discuss the Endoscopy Clinic inspection story. My role was pretty limited to the budgetary aspects - the inspecting agency has one year’s operating expenses in […]
All the while I’m thinking about my friend’s taxation issues (see the story below) I am roiling inside because yesterday I served as an alternate on the IFC Audit Subcommittee.
