From the desk of Glenn Mitroff, Outgoing Volunteer & Outreach Coordinator
Glenn Mitroff has worked as WORT’s Volunteer & Outreach Coordinator for 21+ years.
As I prepare for my retirement in June, I am excited to announce that Adrienne Ranney has been hired as WORT’s next Volunteer & Outreach Coordinator.
Adrienne will join the staff on May 31st, with an overlap with me until my last day on June 11th.
I would like to thank the Staff Collective, Board and the Hiring Committee for all of their focused work on updating the position description and conducting a well-designed recruitment and hiring process. I would like to especially thank presenters from the UW Diversity Forum for sharing resources from their session, “Designing a Fair and Equitable Hiring Process.”
doug, so they couldn t get the senate health care bill to pass, the repeal now looks like it s doa. you heard garrett haage a moment ago say what mcconnell s last option is, is to take this vote to the floor and let it fail. what do you say? i think he has two options. and he s talked about them pretty clearly. a while back he said, look, if we don t pass this bill, i will be sitting down with chuck schumer to craft the bill, to stabilize the markets which are failing, and you re not going to like what that looks like. he s committed to doing that, he s not going to walk away. not going to like what that looks like? 1yu69 prior to that, he s going to give them a one time chance to vote to repeal, and we ll see had how that goes. how are republican voters not going to like what a compromise would look like with the
more conservative wing about the best way to move forward. some folks want to stay and continue this discussion. other folks are saying, we need to scrap this, come up with new ideas, new plans. hard to take away an entitlement once you give that entitlement to folks and let them live with it for six, seven years. garrett thank you very much. we have doug holtz, economic adviser to john mccain s 2008 campaign. and nbc news medical contributor dr. natalie azar. let s start with you. could we put up that graphic we had of the three people who said no to repeal? not quite that one. there you go, look at that, three women. three women saying no to repeal, three women who also said no to the senate bill i believe. and they are three women who were not in the initial discussions on how to craft this health care bill, as we know.
