The ruling only says APA is CBA and can appoint who they want with DFR responsibilities/guidelines. The interesting thing is why the board chose to review the East behavior and explore why the West would not be treated fairly by the East. Interesting, very interesting. As I said the hair on my neck would stand out if I was East. Again the smartest thing the bottom two thirds of the East list could do is organize and ask APA to allow a vote for MC replacement, getting rid of USAPA and any working with them. If they try DOH they will be CAL'ed.
