SILENCE AT CPRIT

At CRBCM we watch the news trying to see if there is any thing happening with one of the most important organization for Cancer Prevention and Research in Texas (CPRIT). I am afraid to report: SILENCE...
Now I do not know what is worse.  The old CPRIT full of politicians that used to lie to us as it turns out!  Or the new and improved CPRIT that is completely silent.   The old one kept us energized even when it was misleading, filling us with false hope while dealing and diverting funds to friends, but at least we believed to the cost of 7 grant submissions.  This new CPRIT, may be overcautious but what is it doing we wonder!  Is-it still putting things into place?  or is it still planning what to do...Only God and insiders know.  Truly I wonder what is worse.   Even in my office, when I am a little late, I come out and tell people who were involved, waiting, to tell what is going on behind the curtains!  Is it fair to ask that the public be kept abreast!

It's been a month since the legislation was passed refunding CPRIT, even if they are still putting competent people in place, the public should know. There have been complete silence as if the institution is closed, as if nobody works there anymore...what is it about?  Did some dark organization take over?  Are we going to disappear in the darkness of night for asking.  We know where the money will ultimately go so just come out and let us know the new rules of the game!   Going under the dark or under water does not help, just come out and lay things straight!

The beneficiaries are MD Anderson, Baylor and you know the rest of the list, the legislators we know them, few new names at CPRIT but the outcome will be the same! I truly doubt the game will have new steps, but it is nice to observe out as  it will be unveiled.  Whether CPRIT like it or not, CRBCM and others will be watching.  The left behind will be there to play their part, disparity will be go on, unless of course true leaders take over CPRIT...and chance of that is minimal to say the least.  True Visionaries are often hard to come by for as long as the influencial organizations around CPRIT such as Bioalliances remain close by.     My experience with Bioalliances was the worse, but what can I say or do, they keep a hold on CPRIT!

QUI VERRA, VERRA or is it QUI SERA SERA (WHATEVER WILL BE, WILL BE!) !  WE ARE STILL LEAVING AN INTERESTING TIME IN CANCER RESEARCH IN TEXAS!
