This current Board is too arrogant and has eared the complete LACK of trust and confidence of the citizens of Tulare. At this point in time any committee members chosen by the current Board of Directors would not have the confidence of Tulare citizens....it would be like the foxes guarding the hen house. Also what is the story behind Brian Bell and exactly what is his history if any in regards to our hospital. There should be no new bond money until we have a new Board of Directors.

Is this not the same Board of Directors with their hand picked oversight committee who mismanaged the last $85 Million of tax payers money? Before another cent is provided, which to my calculations is more than was is needed for the $120 Million addition they must first; 1 - provide a full accounting from audited statements of all the expenditures of the first $85 million, 2 - provide the last 2 years of audited financials along with the current fiscal year to date financials, and 3 - based on posts that from a Mr Bell (I assume is a relative of Sherry Bell) the District is now making $750,000 monthly so this should be more than enough to self fund the remainder of the building project from operations. Finally, why are they not using revenue bonds. HOW many district hospitals are asking for 100% public tax funding, this is unreasonable to expect tax payers to fund with the HCCA corporation waiting in the wings to purchase at their discretion for market value.

Nothing was being turned over. An independent group(not affiliated to anyone)should do the picking. The board picked the last group and nothing was accomplished. Nothing was being turned over.
