<bold>Point of order please!   Ruth McBurney is a CHP, but has never been the 
Texas RCPD.  As the Director of the Division of Licensing, Registration 
and Standards, she is the "number two" person in the Agency, from 
which position she has accomplished the reputation that you know her 
for.  At least four other members of the Agency are CHP's also, but that 
does not automatically project them into the top positions.


</bold>I agree about the salaries being too low...Senior HP's at Texas A&M University 
make more than the state regulators responsible for licensing and inspecting 
the operations at TAMU.  And that is even another state Agency!  Even 
amoung state institutions, there are large variations in salarys... The University 
of Texas at Austin HP's pay scale is lower than the Agency's...
