HPRB October 20, 2015 Meeting

[Gryphon]

I have been to all but two meetings since early this year to observe. I may have some notes? I'll check. I had no interaction with the Board prior to my 12.15.15 hearing.

Edit: Sorry 10/20 was one of the meetings I missed because I was out of town on business.

 

[PJDiesel]

Then, we've got 5/0 overturned for an "unrestricted" permit (modification) at some point here unless I'm reading it wrong.

 

[Schipperke]

Interesting, it does mention disgruntled people.

Anyone know about the October 20 cases?

Common thread in the minutes. If you are ex law enforcement or have a letter from your congressman, good to go..
