Mike Johanns: “I do want to make a very important point today. First of all, I want to say thank you to the Chairman for his efforts.”

Could you do that and make it crystal clear to the public that you confirm that the role of conservator... is to be the bridge builder?

But to anyone who might be listening in who is wondering if is it time to give up, it is not.

Our job is to try to figure out how we deal with that puzzle, that very difficult issue of how to provide services to people who need it.

I just hope we are not over-engineering something here.
