good news Senate OKs 2 levee boards great news Impartial panel A panel of mostly impartial engineering and public interest associations and universities would nominate people to the boards and the governor would select the appointments. Each of the new boards would have to be stocked with a certain number of engineers, scientists and professionals from other disciplines. Some of the board members would have to be from outside the region and could even be from outside the state. That method is a significant departure from the current system for levee boards that relies mostly on nominations of local people by lawmakers from the districts.
