MLRB, this Court is "in as good a position as the district court to review the <br />record" and the decision of the MLRB. Id.; Lassner v. Civil Service Comm'n, 177 <br />Colo. 257, 259, 493 P.2d 1087, 1089 (1972); see also Anderson v. Colorado State <br />Dept of Personnel, 756 P.2d 969, 979 (Colo. 1988); Dawson v.

City of <br />Colorado Springs v. Givan, 897 P.2d 753, 756 (Colo. 1995) ("Therefore, an <br />appellate court is in the same position as the district court in reviewing an <br />administrative decision under Rule 106."). <br />A reviewing court can reverse a state agency's factual findings if the agency <br />decision is "unsupported by substantial evidence when the record is considered as <br />a whole." C.R.S. § 24-4-106(7); Ross v. Fire and Police Pension Assoc., 713 P.2d <br />1304, 1308 (Colo. 1986). This standard requires that there be more than merely <br />some evidence to support the agency decision and is a different, less onerous <br />standard than that applied by courts reviewing actions by inferior tribunals <br />pursuant to C.R.C.P, 106(a)(4). In actions under C.R.C.P. 106, reversal is <br />13 <br />
