Human Rights panel may be reorganized

FRANKFORT - Gov. Ernie Fletcher is planning to reorganize the state's Human Rights Commission, a move that would reduce the number of commissioners and make them full-time, his chief of staff said Wednesday.
Final details of the commission's future make-up were not finished, Daniel Groves, Fletcher's top aide, said. However, the goal was to pay commissioners and allow them to devote more time toward pending cases.
The commission has 11 part-time unpaid commissioners. It is responsible for reviewing civil-rights-related complaints and resolving them.
The commission gets about 7,000 calls annually and had 312 that resulted in actual cases during the last fiscal year.
