Nominee acknowledges 2008 incident during confirmation hearing
Summary
Senator Gillespie asked the nominee about derogatory incidents; Charles Tyler Norman acknowledged a 2008 college incident referenced in the report and described it as a youthful mistake, saying he has since served on state boards and employed people with felony records.
Senator Gillespie asked whether Charles Tyler Norman had any derogatory incidents beyond a 2008 event noted in the committee report. Norman acknowledged the 2008 college matter and described it as an event from his time as a junior at Ole Miss, saying he regrets the mistake and has since served on several state boards.
The nominee emphasized his record of employing people with felony convictions and giving them second chances. "I've hired felons before. I've given them 2nd chances," Norman said, and told senators he would bring committee suggestions to the Magcor board and executive director.
No further derogatory incidents were raised on the record; the committee accepted the explanation and proceeded to report the nomination out by consent.
