    Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante has appointed Marcy Feit, president and CEO of ValleyCare Health System, to the Independent Citizens Oversight Committee overseeing California's stem-cell research initiative, which was created when voters approved Proposition 71 in 2004. "Ms. Feit has spent her entire 32-year career in Central Valley health-care programs," Bustamante says.
