The proposal was laid on the table at Monday's Board Administrative Committee (BAC) meeting. For those not familiar with the ins/outs of the RA Board, the BAC is basically a rehearsal for the highly staged official monthly Board meeting later in the week.<br /><br />Has anyone noticed an improvement in service since they moved?
