The Observation Deck

According to CCF's. and LHF's own websites, as of 9:00 am of Saturday October 15, 2016, the Clinic controls the Lakewood Hospital Foundation's money that used to support Lakewood residents.

There you have it. Proof that Summer and City Hall gave away another $33.5 million of charitable money to powerful corporate interests.

From that page:

the organization can continue our philanthropic efforts of supporting programs and services that help make a difference in the health and well-being of Lakewood and the surrounding communities.

Nice. So money that belonged to Lakewood, to be used in Lakewood, can now be "distributed" to virtually anyone.

Is that what the individual donors expected when they donated money to Lakewood Hospital?

Sounds fraudulent to me - collect money saying it will be used for one purpose but using it for another.

The people running LHF still have ccf.org emails.

The Clinic "owns" LHF.

Defendant Summers testified in the taxpayer case:

1. Ken Haber joined LHA as a trustee in (Summers transcript page 14; line24 ) 2011.
2. Ken Haber was on the Select Committee (Summers transcript page 12; line) 2012-2013.
3. Ken Haber was on secret the Step 2 Committee (Summers transcript page 18; line 5) 2014.

Ken Haber, as an LHA trustee was a member of the highest ranking LHA committees on planning and finance and appears to have been privy to all of the damning information coming form the litigation that Summers, Fitzgerald, and CCF executives were jointly planning the closure of Lakewood Hospital since 2010, if not earlier.

Ken Haber voted twice as an LHA trustee in 2015 to close the hospital.

Note the Select Committee Report was approved 12/12/2013:
Note that Ken Haber signed the January 14, 2015 letter of intent LOI on behalf of LHF---that LOI included LHF joining with the New Fake Foundation.

Ken Haber is a Defendant in the taxpayer lawsuit and despite his fine lawyers' efforts he has not been dismissed from the case.

Defendant Ken Haber and his lawyers have joined with CCF and Cosgrove in nearly every court filing--they are inseparable.

The notion that LHF is somehow separate and independent from CCF is contradicted by CCF and LHA joint websites and ccf.org emails

It is also contradicted by the facts that if Issue 64 passes, CCF will dominate "health and wellness" in Lakewood, including whatever is left of LHF's $33.5 million after 25% of it was pulled back to Cleveland by the Cleveland Foundation (which is dominated by CCF players).

Why do you suppose that Hen Haber has not been dismissed and that he and his lawyers are so tight with CCF and Cosgrove?

Can anybody verify whether Ken Haber kept the LHF board informed along the way in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 concerning the status of planning pertaining to the closure of Lakewood Hospital?
