APS Offices Can't Be Called Spartan

It is a matter of perspective.

Jolene Gutierrez Krueger's Journal headline link read;

"APS Offices Can't Be Called Luxe"

(luxurious, elegant, sumptuous deluxe)
Mine reads;
APS Offices Can't Be Called Spartan

(simple, frugal, austere, rigorously self-disciplined or self-restrained)
One could argue that,
for as long as there are classrooms with paint peeling off the walls,

there should not be administrative offices with custom
hardwood paneling on theirs.



It's all in your perspective.
