Update on State Board of Ed nominee

I see that Linda McMahon was appointed to the state Board of Ed after successful votes in the House and Senate. (See post below).

After emailing all our House delegation, I had heard back from Buddy Altobello, who noted the Senate had approved her, and Cathy Abercrombie, who was waiting to hear the debate on the floor. I did not hear from Chris Donovan.

Checking the vote tally, all three voted in favor of the appointment. I'm still wondering what Ms McMahon's qualifications were, beyond being a contributor to Governor Rell's campaigns, and that she's a trustee of Sacred Heart University.
