Ind. Gov't. - "Panel whittles list of IURC candidates down to 10"
Not much whittling occurred, however, as the selection commission pared the list from the initial 12 to 10, according to this story today by John Russell of the Indianapolis Star. The story includes neither a list of those remaining, or the names of the two eliminated.
This Nov. 23rd ILB entry includes a list of the 12 applicants.
Today's story reports:
Gov. Mitch Daniels will select the new commissioner from among three finalists chosen by a seven-member nominating committee.The committee met Friday morning at the Statehouse and decided to cut two candidates from a list of 12 applicants. The remaining 10 will be interviewed by the committee next Friday during an all-day session. They include the chairman of the State Parole Board, the top lawyer at the State Lottery Commission and the top lawyer at the state Department of Natural Resources.
During a 75-minute meeting, the nominating committee did not set out a list of skills or experience it was seeking in a new commissioner. The committee's chairman, William Stephan, said the group is following state law that lists broad qualifications, such as public service, education and professional experience.
