Ritter nominates three more to cabinet

Yesterday, Bill Ritter nominated former Denver Fire Chief Rich Gonzales to lead Personnel and Administration, natural resources expert Harris Sherman to head the Department of Natural Resources, and healthcare professional Joan Henneberry to oversee Health Care Policy and Financing.

Henneberry's online bio caught my eye. She "spent three years as director of the Health Policy Studies Division, Center for Best Practices at the National Governors Association." If I had a buck for every time I heard Ritter say he'd look at best practices from states around the country for solutions to Colorado's energy, safety and healthcare woes, I'd have at least a few dollars more than I have now.

Ritter's release goes on to state:

"Joan will play a key role in fulfilling a major component of the Colorado Promise: providing all Coloradans with access to some basic form of health-care coverage by 2010," Ritter said, noting that 788,000 Coloradans currently lack health insurance.
