You may notice that Shane Regan is the only TPS staff person who did not sign the letter asking for the board's resignation and was then summarily fired. Given the outcry about his firing on social media it sounds like he is pretty well respected. Maybe he's the only one up there with their wits about them.

The TPS board issued this press release a few hours ago:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 18, 2017
The Board of TPS learned yesterday of an action by the TPS Interim Director purporting to release Shane Regan. The Board was not consulted prior to this action and has begun efforts to learn the circumstances. The Interim Director has been suspended during this investigation and is no longer acting on behalf of TPS. The Board is in communication with Shane and will be working to maintain his employment with TPS. Further, the Board will continue its already-initiated search for an Executive Director*

For questions please contact board member Shawn Belyea, at ShawnBelyea@msn.com. (206) 851-9636.

I think Rich died while updating this post a couple of hours ago. Send help.

This sounds like neither of the 'leadership' sides are any damn good at their job.

6.5 hours later, those cryptic lines still remain...
