Now In
Dear Sir:
Last night I dreamed that I was
awake I woke up and I was still
asleep. NONSENSE like the an-
swers that the Hospital Board is not
giving to the questions that have
been requested? The difference being
the NONSENSE is silly, but which
is which?
Couldit be that the Hospital Board
was informed when the Fire
Marshall cited the Hospital concern-
ing the sprinkler system violation
Months ago?
What was the reasoning behind
The Board waiting until the Elev-
enth hour to cry out for a citizen
monetary rescue to pay for the sprin-
kler system?
Could it be that if the sprinkler
had been installed months ago, it
would have been cheaper ( cost of
living index(?
Could it be that if the sprinkler
system had been installed under
HCA management, it would have
adversely effected their share of the
booty?
If the Hospital roof was leaking,
how many months would it take for
the Board to figure out that repairs
or renewal was indicated?
The by-laws concerning The Board
of Trustees of The Summers County
Hospital dictates that all recommen-
dations for new or replacement Board
members appointed, are to be sub-
mitted in writing to the Summers
County Commission for considera-
tion. With this I have some diffi-
culty, since the Hospital Board has
two (2) Commissioners seated pres-
ently.
Does this give new meaning to the
song "I Did It My Way"?.
I personally have no problem with
one Commissioner on the Hospital
Board but I believe two is excessive.
Since it only takes two Commission-
ers at a Commission meeting to be a
majority and approve or deny a per-
spective member or appointee to the
Summers County Hospital Board of
Trustees. DO ITWHO's WAY?.
With the Hospital Board, QUO-
RUM being five ie. least legal num-
ber without conflict of interest re-
quired to transact Hospital Board
business, three is majority. So then
the two Commissioners have only to
persuade one other Board member.
WHO'S WAY?
Yes I have asked many questions
and have received no answers to
date, but I have had my parentage
questioned anonymously.
I have been told to not rock the
boat, stop making waves, but more
often to shut my big mouth and mind
my own business, by phone and
anonymously. This is my business,
to be more accurate the Summers
County Hospital is our business.
If you do not have the answers to
the questions that have been asked
of the Hospital Board and are a tax
paying citizen of Summers County,
then where is your voice, your re-
quest for answers?
A MUSHROOM IS KEPT IN THE
DARK AND FED MANURE We the
citizens of Summers County are kept
in the dark and fed nothing by the
powers that are in control, ( tell us
nothing), Does this qualify us as
being half of a mushroom? Yours Truly,
