And again, I haven't seen anything that explains what metrics will be used to determine if in fact things are better, and what recourse WE have other than to complain to the Governors appointed flunkies.

I still have not seen an explanation of WHY we have to change everything because AMR is slow. Why not fix that and leave things that have worked so well.
