State Secretary of Social Services Kim Malsam-Rysdon and her department's chief financial officer, Brenda Tidball-Zeltinger, look for answers to one of the many questions asked Tuesday morning by members of the Legislature's Joint Committee on Appropriations. The focus was on the department's Medicaid revisions and projections, with Democratic lawmakers burrowing into the numbers.

Do all the women in the Social Services Department have hyphenated names ? Kind of “telling”, if you know what I mean !

What an ignorant statement: you mean women who love their birth families’ names as well as, if not better than, some other guy’s father’s surname?

No, been-there, I don’t know what you mean. “Telling” of what, exactly?
Personally, I love hyphenated words: ill-mannered, out-of-date, narrow-minded are a few that come to mind.
