There's been an addition to this week's schedule of committee meetings at the state legislature.
Senate Director Nominations meets at 9:30 a.m. in SHR109. On the agenda: no bills; one executive nomination - Kathryn Ptak as Director of the Department of Child Safety.
She seems to well liked by Rs in general...but none of them are on this committee.
One person who is?
State Sen. John Kavanagh, sponsor of SB1734, a bill that infamously reduces benefits/compensation for parents caring for their children with developmental disabilities.
While Ptak's nomination isn't for an agency that covers that area, it may be close enough for Kavanagh et. al.
I expect some verbal fireworks from the Rs on the committee before they tank her nomination.
However, Ptak is a trained attorney. Not only does she know how to fence with words, she may use words that are bigger than Kavanagh et. al. have heard.

You blew that prediction.
Yup. Of course, you and the others in your caucus may have realized that demonizing and devastating parents of children with developmental disabilities isn't a political winner.
