From the transcript
Anybody have any opinions with respect to Kevin's—. Mr. Chair, I hate to keep— I hate being the only person talking, but when I came on board as administrator in 2001, we were not charged with this particular training, and it came about during Jerry Anderson's time, which— when he replaced— not replaced, but filled the position when I retired. I have always felt that adding this to the ethics training has reduced the ethics training which has limited then the information that is given to both legislators and staff. And sometimes I think ethics is very complicated.
