As expected Mr. Danielson has selected a well qualified and totally independent person to conduct this investigation.

This is a very tough problem since I suspect that those who have lodged complaints will never been satisfied unless some finding of misconduct has been made. Perhaps reasonably so, certainly at least from their perspective. I therefore hope that Mr. Danielson will instruct David Reuben to not only come up with a conduct finding, but also detail how the APD can handle things more professionally going forward no matter what that finding may be.

Happy this time. In Atherton? I doubt it especially with the individual involved. But, perhaps this investigation will get to the bottom of the complaint and Atherton can move on.
