How long until NM DOH MCP approval?

Looks like heads have rolled over this situation DOMINIC ZURLO is leaving. I for one will miss him he really wanted this program to be a success. But there was no money to hire more employees and this backlog just got bigger and bigger.So as an outcome someones head had to roll wrong place at the wrong time. I'm seeing a lot more apps moving through the system now but will still have a backlog for another 1-2 months.

Exactly 30 days for me.

Sounds like DOH is getting back on track.Well the producers had there meeting with secretary and alls good for now. The big news is that SFINM did not renew there license.

Dominick's leaving was of his own accord, as were the two ladies. To replace them, the Secretary moved 5 full time employees from other departments to do nothing but work on getting the apps flowing again. I don't know how any one could think that 3 part-time employees were going to handle over 1,000 applications! I'm disappointed that it took the loss of experienced personnel to get the Secretary to wake up and hire more people. Dominick has stated in the past the reason for the high renewal fees for the producers was to hire 5 to 7 full time employees. I am hearing that they are down to 2 weeks turn around. Now, if my brother-in-law would finally receive his PPL, that would be nice.

Are you kidding me? The first producer gave it up? Any reasons given? Such a shame that the program has lost any of the producers. Was there any word about replacing the two that didn't renew?

[alfonso2002]

Hi CFO no reason given but they were at the 30.000.00 level so that might have had something to do with it.As far as replacing them rumor has it that DOH will be replacing them with 2 more .If they do it soon the new producers will have this first year free or almost free.

Interesting, the only producer to say NO to the Grower's Guild / Livingstone's lawsuit are folding up. Got some killer clones from them. Sorry to see them go. (Unlike DZ!!!).

They weren't the only producer to say NO to the Guild/lawsuit. I know of at least three producers that are having nothing to do with the lawsuit and at least one other that said no to joining the producer's guild. As far as I know, none of the current producers have anything to do with Livingston's lawsuit. It is a group of wannabes. It is also my understanding that the DOH will NOT replace either of the producers that did not renew at this time. There were rumors that there were 4 new producer applications being approved even before Dec. 1st. This was just that...rumor. No basis and untrue. The 23 remaining producers will be the only producers for some time to come. This information was provided to me by one of my clients with permission to post. (one of the producers which I cannot disclose) We are sad to see them go as well. Yes, their medicine was top drawer.

[alfonso2002]

CFO even the producers don't know what DOH is going to do about the 2 that did not renew. But I think 2 will be replaced. And as far as quality I never got any of there meds but they had a few years to learn what they were doing so they should have been there.
