Response History
Hey Linda, I do agree and support making sure the commissioner adheres to the current policy of separation. We also now have a local gentleman on the Department of Corrections Board that really understands this issue. I believe he we bill closely engaged in this process going forward . I would also pledge to ask questions if a hearing is scheduled. Thanks for sending me this email. Johnny.________________________________
