In re Pentz
Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
DOYLE, Judge.
The sole issue for our review in this appeal is whether the Board of Supervisors (Board) of Newtown Township committed an abuse of discretion or error of law when it reduced Officer Mark Pentz’s rank pursuant to a Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board (PLRB) order to “[rjescind the unilateral promotion to sergeant of Officer Patton and restore the *1350status quo ante.” For the reasons set forth below, we find no error by the Board, and, therefore, we reverse the order of the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County which reinstated Officer Pentz to the rank of corporal.
