Mr. Kenny stated in his presentation that he is concerned about the increased number of appeals taken by State agencies. I am annoyed that State agencies are taking appeals against his office which, as he said, creates a double whammy in terms of costs for the taxpayer. Whatever happens will cost the taxpayer money. He mentioned that his office has won appeals.
