And if i find that, obviously, that will not be tolerated. But so i do i definitely have a sense of a shift in the organization that theyre starting to shift the way i manage, to what i expect from them. Reporter several others addressed the issue of whether or not repairs were being made. Some even calling into question whether or not metros own watchdog needs to get involved in this investigation.
