Whoa! This IS stunning. I don't believe the NJCSD has ever been so bold!
Plus, Joe Ficalora of SBTI Inc. (yes, THAT Joe Ficalora) is staking his reputation on it. Doesn't he realize how much he, personally, has to lose making a statement like that if he's wrong?
I'm .... speechless. I'm going to go lie down.
LOL
If he is wrong we all lose a lot and it will cause considerable contention and strife in the fairly near future.
