I guess I question whether or not we
need outside expert legal counsel. I don’t begrudge us using expert legal advice. But do we need to have this person or people — however many they are — on standby, on retainer, whatever it is? I gather the amount of money is $180,000. It seems to me that the work that’s required is not a full year’s work.
The other concern that I have is there’s $100,000 earmarked for the socio-economic advisory board. Again, I wonder what that board is going to be doing in the absence of the joint review panel report.
