Whether I or anyone else agree or disagree with the Boards funding decisions or other actions is immaterial. What is relevant is this: Congress has no business superimposing our judgment about daytoday management or the exercise of fidiciary duties on the LSC Board of Directors and its management. For example. the LSC Board has studied the issue of funding for legal services to migrant farmworkers for the past year. Some of my colleagues. I am certain. disagree with LSCs decision that the migrant programs are currently overfunded. These colleagues want no reduction in the funding of migrant programs. I personally am not convinced that LSC should fund any programs specifically geared to migrants. Migrants are included within the eligible clients served by the general legal services grantees. Furthermore. from what my constituents tell me. these migrant programs may be involved in improper activities. Obviously there are many facets to this one problem. But one thing is clear.
