If Mr. Carnegie were alive today, he would take this action to streamline the board,\” said T. Lawrence Palmer, a senior deputy attorney general for state Attorney General Mike Fisher\’s office. The attorney general\’s office monitors trusts to make certain the wishes of the deceased are being carried out.
