You got it Joe S! David was brilliant in documenting this in his public comment and goes to the savage attacks upon again not only ththis issue but systemically throughout all of MCB's affairs and for that matter beyond them.

The meeting refers to the special meeting held on February 8, 2012 at which the Commission Board gave its blessing to the proposal from the Elected Operators' Committee on the State Plate issue and concerns the requirement that the new operator chosen for that facility agree to participate in a partnership arrangement with a management company for at least two years. It was pointed out during the public comment portion of this meeting that the teaming partner requirement amounts to forcing the new operator to pay the cost of their training, since the profits from the location would have to be split between the partners instead of going exclusively to the operator. Dry but important reading.

We've been here before. Remember the maintainence fiasco and the RSA citings?
Well here is what is violated in Title I of the Rehab Act itself. Note licences are required to be paid for under maintainence by the agency, as well as training and not to be paid for by the customer including those in BEP!
And what is the contract to take over a facility? A license to operate!
