Other than the meaningless bureaucratese of “management style,” there has been no explanation as to why the great majority of the DA’s staff won’t support Tim Covello.
We need some specifics on exactly what Mr. Covello has done to so alienate the staff that they don’t want to work for him, which should be the end of the matter.
