Essi to Team Summers/Build Lakewood - Get Us A CCF Release!

[marklingm]

While I believe that Brian Essi was being tongue-in-cheek in his $10,000 wager with Jay Carson (who is a good guy BTW), Brian continues to make the point that folks on Team Summers and Build Lakewood want us all to forget:

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation will not allow anyone to takeover the Lakewood Hospital TODAY and no entity will attempt to takeover the Lakewood Hospital TODAY without the CCF first providing an unconditional release stating that the CCF will walkway from the Lakewood Hospital TODAY without ever raising a tortious interference lawsuit.

In his own words from the "WARNING - LHA Is Reportedly Conducting A Push Poll!" thread at http://www.lakewoodobserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13812, Brian states:

I will give you a $10,000 check payable to your favorite charity (even CCF) if you can get Toby Cosgrove to sign a written irrevocable statement that CCF will leave the Lakewood Hospital Campus location and cooperate in an orderly transition to a new buyer, lessee or manager in the event that Lakewood finds one and that they will hold harmless any party that the City engages as a prospect. Get me the statement and I guarantee that Lakewood will have more than one offer to operate quality healthcare in the heart of our city within a few months. Many parties are waiting and watching our valuable assets--surely you know that expert opinions are like wet toilet paper when compared to live prospects with the financial means that bidding against each other.

FYI, Metro backed out of their proposal after CCF's Brian Donley met with Dr. Boutros and then Dr. Boutros said he "felt used" by LHA and Summers. Why? Because Summers and his Step 2 never had a written statement from CCF that they would leave. You can call that a conspiracy, but I have multiple sources inside Metro who say that happened.

No worries Jay, many other good people like you have been misled--some choose to ignore the facts, believe what they want to believe, just don't want to "see" etc.

Let's do coffee or lunch and we can work together to truly Build Lakewood hospital into a well managed up to date facility. (I'll bring my checkbook if you can get that statement.)

Great grab, you can even teach a dog to say remarks with the right treats.

CCF's Dr. Jones said Monday night that the Clinic would "step aside" if we found another party to take over or develop the hospital.

Put it in writing Dr. Jones or eat your empty words.

Mayor Summers knows that if he did ask for it, the Clinic would say NO!.

That would expose the fact that Summers is a horrible manager and a liar.

That would expose the whole RFP Metro thing was a sick joke--all for show or a bumbling idiots' fool's game.

There has never been a real and professional marketing of the hospital because Mike Summers does not want a hospital in Lakewood and he is a terrible manager.


Prove me wrong Mayor Summers. Ask Toby Cosgrove to sign a written irrevocable statement that CCF will leave the Lakewood Hospital Campus location and cooperate in an orderly transition to a new buyer, lessee or manager in the event that Lakewood finds one and that they will hold harmless any party that the City engages as a prospect.

Show the people you care about them, not just your cronies.

Summers and the CCF, birds of a feather, don't give a damn about the people. In their world money talks, BS walks. So guess what they think of us?
