New Youth Commission board named

Governor Perry has named the new board of the Texas Youth Commisison, which met on Tuesday for the first time and whose first act was to permanently hire Cherie Townsend as executive director.Here's the press release announcing the appointments. The new board chair and another member are ministers. The Grayson County DA is on the board, as is the executive director of the Permian Basin MHMR from Midland, a district judge from Cameron County and a doctor from Beaumont.For some unexplained reason, Perry only appointed six members to the board, including the chair, but the Sunset bill says it should have seven. So we can probably expect another appointment to come in the near future.
