Nancy,

Great article!  I hadn't seen this.

Regarding Perez, we have been making the case that we would be happy if the rules were sent back to DOL under Perez.  He is respected by both labor and disability organizations.  He is knowledgeable about the ADA and community-based services.  He has a history of bringing opposing people together.  But in order for him to resolve this mess, he has to be in a decision-making position, so the proposed rules would need to be sent back to DOL rather than continue forward through the approval process at OMB.

Bruce
