Believe by the executive officer of the Civil Service commission that this is all refined, and you know, defined very specifically in the charter. And i know from my time working in the department of Human Resources you cannot, you cannot go against the super powers, and that is something that, it is also important that you know, that this body, the board of supervisors, has the ability to put things on the ballot to change that. And if we are able to identify a specific package of reforms that need to be made to the charter then that is something that our organization will support wholeheartedly.
