"Texas’ scandal-ridden cancer research agency has six members of its new governing board, with appointments announced Thursday by Gov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.

Under a state law passed earlier this year after a headline-grabbing scandal over grant irregularities, questionable spending and findings of mismanagement by auditors, the entire board had to be reappointed.

Perry named Angelos Angelou of Austin, Gerry Geistweidt of Mason and William Rice of Austin. Angelou and Geistweidt previously served on the board, officials said."
