Here are the board appointment interviews. The audio is in raw unedited WMA format and goes about 3.5 hrs. I am releasing the audio from copyright, feel free to use it as you want. It would be nice to credit swampbubbles.com, but it is not mandatory. The starts out with the first candidate and ends with the last one. There are a few 10 minute breaks in between. There were 12 candidates interviewed and they went in alphabetical order, excluding the first person who had his interview over the phone. I believe 2 did not show up. One was the endorsed Democrat, Ms. Cruz, she withdrew her name. Being that I could not be there early Twila Paige started the recording and I finished it. As of 9:15 when I left they were in executive session. They came back around 9:50 or so and announced they were not going to make the decision public tonight, but would have a special meeting on Friday. Here is your chance to judge the candidates yourself.

One was the endorsed Democrat, Ms. Cruz,
The Executive Committee of the Democratic Party did not endorse anyone for this appointment. It was rumored that the Screening Committee was going to recommend Ms. Cruz, however she withdrew her name. We do not know if she would have been the person selected by the Executive Committee or not since they opted to not endorse anyone.
