RECONSIDERATION OF JCD 1257

The Council refused reconsideration.  While the docket of the Judicial Council published before their session includes the substance of the requests for rulings, it does not include the requests for reconsideration there.  Consequently, there is no knowing what issues were brought forward to be grounds for review of JCD 1257.  While the Council acknowledged in JCD 1257 that the bishop overstepped his boundaries to get Hope for the Future, Inc. up and running in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the Council did not sanction the bishop for the violations.  That could lead to problems in the future.  See my commentary on JCD 1257.
