The Hospital Is Not The Problem...

[Jim O'Bryan]

... it is merely the symptom we can see, much like serious life threatening virus leave sores, rashes, even gangrene eventually when the body is filled with virus.

The problem is the government, that no longer can answer to the residents, that trusted it enough to vote it into office. Let me promise you, unless you are one of 20 people, you have ZERO understanding of the Hospital Deal, because you have been lied to by elected officials, and given partial truth from citizen groups, through no fault of their own, as City Hall has been fighting the residents for 21 months and three election cycles not allowing anyone see the paperwork, or the messages.

I have run out of metaphors. Residents watching this administration's loss/orchestrated closing of our hospital and tax base should be worried enough to call for an investigation by all residents. But the "laundering" of $350 million in assets into $50 million with one groups of friends, that orchestrated the closing, or $19.7 million for another group of friends, that helped orchestrate the closing. Should make all of us mad.

Over the past 24 months, from breaking the story, to working with the small handful of documents LO hs been able to get, unbiased truthful representation of the documents we have, we have posted fact, after fact, that underlines, this deal stinks, was handed poorly at best, and has created a community of mistrust and hatred among residents and business. The only way this gets fixed, is release the documents, NOW before the election. Nearly everything that has come to light represents receiving less than 10% of the documents requested!

We might be able to survive losing the hospital, but we cannot survive, unethical, secretive, manipulative, dishonest, government.
