12. The OIP's contention that the access organizations were not
created by the State does not appear to have taken into
consideration the state moneys spent hiring experts to
devise the structure of the boards, the state involvement in
drafting the access organizations' bylaws, and the
implementation of the creation of the access organizations
through the DCCA's hand-picked initial directors.
