AND NOW, this 20th day of July, 2009, as this Court finds the facts as pled in Appellant's Amended Petition for Review, and all reasonable inferences taken therefrom, sufficiency establish a prima facie case for recovery under the Whistle-blower Law, 43 P.S. §§ 1421, et seq., the Order of the Commonwealth Court sustaining the Department of Public Welfare's preliminary objections in the nature of a demurrer, pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a)(4), is REVERSED.
