  <body><![CDATA[<p>School of Public Policy Professor Marilyn Brown's confirmation hearing for the Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors occurred February 9, in the midst of the snow event that shut down the Federal government.  </p>

<p>Brown's statement begins about two thirds of the way through the video which also includes  statements and discussion of climate change and air quality issues by U.S. Senators Boxer, Alexander, Barrasso, and Whitehouse and by Brown's co-nominees Bill Sansom--a businessman, Neil McBride--public rights lawyer, and Barbara Haskew--an economist and past-Provost of Middle Tennessee State University.</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
