Transcript of interview with Betsy Fretwell by Claytee White and Stefani Evans, August 30, 2016

Date

2016-08-30

Description

Shortly before the University of Georgia granted Betsy Fretwell Master's degree in public administration in 1991, she applied for a one-year internship with Clark County, Nevada. The County hired her, but Fretwell did not complete her internship. Instead, the County promoted her, hired her full-time, and soon had her lobbying for the County's interests in Carson City.
