Notable Quotes (3)
I won't be supporting this nomination. Uh just too much dishonesty and corruption in the past that we've seen from this person.
I think uh we have had our issues uh and I accept some of the responsibilities for for the divisions in our board and I think bringing us together should be one of our first priorities
rather than having a board chair select the committees that we could all do it together as a board and we all agreed it worked out really well
