He stated that he did not approve of making appointments on this basis; that the only reason he voted for Mr. Lachenbruch was because he thought Mr. Lachenbruch has certain expertise he can bring to the Manning Commission, and this is the basis on which he voted; that, in his opinion, there should be no appointments made of persons to represent any area.
