So far, they are behind in the timeline of chages they must make. What I constantly find curious abiout Arizona though, is their actions with checking facts or details. In my job, I know I would have been expected to time how long to complete the form, evalute if the form needed to be modified and then test it with my co-workers...None of which was done by Janice Mickens. Mickens seem to be so focused on "statistics" that she does not seem to be able to analyze them or make judgements about their applications.
