FLASHPOINT for Apr 01, 2007

Sunday, April 1, 2007 | 7:34 a.m.

Lawmakers do some dumb things. This we know. But the Gang of 63 will be hard-pressed to top the bill introduced last week supposedly to make oversight of the county hospital better. This is the Rube Goldberg legislation they concocted - try to follow along: The County Commission appoints 35 members to a blue-ribbon panel, which creates a nominating committee of nine members, which appoints 11 residents to be the hospital board of trustees. Really. That's what it says. Does this make any sense to anyone reading this? If so, have I got a new career for you. You, too, could go to Carson City for four months every two years and come up with nonsense no rational human being could conjure up.
