[J-111-98] IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA MIDDLE DISTRICT HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CHESTER, Appellee/Cross- Appellant v. PENNSYLVANIA STATE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION, Appellant/Cross- Appellee : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Nos. 180, 181 M.D. Appeal Dkt. 1997 Appeals from the Order and Published Opinion of the Commonwealth Court, entered March 12, 1997 at 1477 C.D. 1996, reversing the order of the State Civil Service Commission, dated May 17, 1996, at No. 18970 692 A.2d 1122 (Pa. Commw. 1997) ARGUED: April 29, 1998 CONCURRING OPINION MR. JUSTICE SAYLOR DECIDED: APRIL 30, 1999 I join the majority’s opinion save for its discussion of standing in Section I. In my view, an assessment of the Commission’s ability to enforce the veteran’s preference provisions of the Military Affairs Act does not implicate principles of standing, but merely the authority of the Commission under its enabling legislation, the Civil Service Act.
