Word.

Watch while SHCHD buries itself in debt, buys a building that’s too small, and appoints another local know-nothing to a board of knuckleheads incapable of managing anything at all…
Be sure to vote NO on the parcel tax, election’s in MAY so wake up before you have to pay for this mess for another 48 years!!!

The resigned board members spouse is a building contractor. Did she resign because her spouse gets the contract to build a new hospital? Spend it like you didn’t earn it! Small town big government. You must be politically connected to receive the fortune.

Do you have proof that this has occurred? How about some evidence? Thanks!

OK, so disregarding the crazy allegations, here are some facts:

1) If SHCHD ever pulled it’s head out of it’s ass it would realize that almost no one cares just what occurs at Jerold Phelps Hospital. Nearly no one has any regard at all for this operation or consumes services there. Not even people who were BORN there!

2) The idea that the property owners in SoHum would vote to tax their parcels is ridiculous. Even Harry Jasper realized that the parcel tax will lose.

3) Nothing EVER changes at SHCHD. The same staff openings are always open, the board is still talking about the same things they were discussing 5 years ago. Kent Scown still hasn’t retired, and the failure to go forward is almost complete. Even Barbara Truitt resigned previously and had to return, as no one else would take the board seat.

4) Financial ruin is just over the hill for SHCHD. The administrators have no clue, they just want to spend borrowed money on property and spin the tale of “new hospital”, which, assuredly, will never materialize. Ground will never be broken for this project.

5) SHCHD is a joke. It will fail if it does not change, which it appears to be utterly unable to do.

VOTE NO ON THE PARCEL TAX. THIS ELECTION IS ATTEMPTING TO SNEAK IN A MAJOR NEW TAX WHILE NO ONE IS LOOKING!
