I tend to think that the BOC isn't going to do much though till HR is truly stabilized and the lawsuit is over.
Btb, there is no reason at all to believe that the change you speak of, or for that matter any other significant change is going to happen. I also dont see anything that relates to change and the lawsuit going on.
I would be optimistic, if I didnt know better, that changes would be made thanks to an influx of fresh ideas with 3 boc seats to be filled soon. Unfortunately, odd are, the fillers of those seats will be hand picked to "stay the exact course" of the last several years. Not saying there arent some reasonable thoughts being kicked around here.
As far as "stabilization", first they are going to need to TRULY end hr in some of the areas of CLAIMED stabilization. Again, depending on who ends up as our new commissioners, that has little chance of happening imho. Many areas would benefit from herd INCREASE, at least somewhat to make up for all thereduction that has occurred SINCE the time we've supposedly been "stabilizing" the last few years.
