Hearing Set on Contractors Board: The legislative panel reviewing the Contractors State License Board, inundated with horror stories about the state agency, has scheduled a second public hearing, for Nov. 9, to gather more testimony. “We have received an unprecedented number of calls and letters since our original hearing on Oct. 6,” said Assemblywoman Jackie Speier (D-Burlingame), chairman of the Assembly’s consumer protection and government efficiency committee. David Phillips, the board’s chief executive, is to appear at the Nov. 9 hearing to address criticisms of the board’s performance.
