Why can't we just wish her well? Why the snark? It's people like you that make all of the professional, innovative people leave the state. They get one year of work experience here and realize it's like beating your head against a brick wall trying to modernize the state.

However, I always understood that race should not be the basis for determining qualifications - and I am sure that Ms. Johnson is qualified. Its just a shame that of those taxpaying citizens that are still a part of the system that it is impossible to find anyone qualified among them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-47677529817007785312017-08-01T16:20:47.334-05:002017-08-01T16:20:47.334-05:00I do not know her but she gets a gold star for agr...I do not know her but she gets a gold star for agreeing to serve.
