It appears that they are not concerned with &quot;actual&quot; facts.  They were given their talking points and obviously are sticking with them.  No free-thinking with many of the &quot;Yes&quot; group.  By the way there are many folks who have never worked for TRMC in any capacity who do not support the passing of Measure I.  They go by the title of &quot;Property Owner / Tax Payer&quot;.</description>

The NO group is mostly business leaders and most of the others do have a medical background. That&#039;s how they know what they&#039;re talking about. 
If you would look at the past board minutes and oversight committee minutes you&#039;d spot the problem. 
The issue with the Dr&#039;s now is they can not practice at TDH until they have admitted so many pts. and have to job shadow with these NEW Dr&#039;s. How would you like it if you had privileges at the place for 25-30 years or more and now all the sudden you are told you&#039;re not in charge of your patients when they get admitted. 
Do you attend any board meetings?  Do you read the minutes? 
Is this new MEC board improving patient care?  Not from the latest reports.......not withstanding what Benzeevi states, because someone is embellishing the truth.</description>

		<description>Thank you to the YES on I people for the hard work to help insure  our tower is completed.  The naysayers from the NO group is  comprised of ex-employees board members and doctors that by choice choose not to come to TRMC  even though their patient&#039;s request it .  So a BIG thank you to everyone for the support they have shown to the citizens of Tulare to help make sure our Tower is completed.</description>

You say that these former TRMC Board members, bond oversight committee members, and physicians are a bunch of disgruntled people who should have been raising red flags years ago.  Well a number of them did just that and no one was apparently paying close attention, especially the news media and the District Attorney’s Office.  Where were our City leaders?  Where was our elected member of Congress?  Certainly not demanding a State Audit! Why did this town put up with the TRMC Board of Directors year after year with their continued arrogance and lack of transparency?  Many in this town fell asleep at the wheel in regards to what was taking place at our hospital….letting the Board handle things without demanding real oversight of the Board members themselves.  Well luckily everyone is awake now and saying vote NO on Measure I.  By the way NoBShere, in regards to folks not speaking out years ago…..I do not recall seeing the name of “NoBShere” raising red flags these past years or did you go by the name of “BShere”?</description>

		<description>I find it ridiculous how both sides are completely stupid! You have turned this town into a he said, she said! When you all should be working together to save a community hospital. Aren&#039;t most of you in the business of saving lives? Not politics!!! At what cost? Until some disaster happens and KDDH can&#039;t accommodate Tulare&#039;s intake then what? Huh? What&#039;s your solution then? Turf them out when minutes count? We all know emergencies have 50/50 chance survival rate. That percentage decreases every seconds services are delayed. Morons!! You mention that all the No leaders were ex board members. Why did you step back, why?! You sat around until it blew up in all our faces!!! You are partly to blame! Where your voices before it all hit the fan?? Most of you are ex board members, workers and MDs that are disgruntled. All those Doctors are not as innocent as you may all think. Fools! This all just makes you look as shady to bring up all this out into the light now! When you should have been speaking up years ago! And Advance Register you need to get some real news reporters instead writing nonsense biased BS!! You are a bunch of instigator reporters bored with your Hicksville life!!!</description>

		<description>We need to 
1- elect a new board
2- force that board to take hospital back from HCCA
3- Then &#038; only then pay any new taxes to build the new building.

We have 14 years to achieve this goal.</description>

		<description>HCCA has taken over this hospital. HCCA should pay for the building. It is their business now. It is not a public hospital anymore.</description>

So you are saying that an ex employee is not an informed voter and able to make sound decisions? I find that offensive!</description>

		<description>As a physician not in Tulare, I am carefully watching the problems doctors are having in your community.  California has laws assuring profiteers do not gain a foothold against the public’s medical interest running any hospital.  

The recent assault by the financially conflicted Board of Directors eliminating the existing Medical Executive Committee is a threat to all doctors and patients in your community.  Physicians though around the State are watching this conflict as the consequence of putting patient medical decision-making into the hands of businesspeople jeopardizes the healthcare of all citizens.

Your hospital will NOT close.  Don’t believe the naysayers who are ignorant of the facts.  Support your vocal doctors and community leaders who understand how important it is to vote NO on “I.”   We must all have equality, and transparency needs to remain in the forefront.  Greed and profit are at your doorstep.  Don’t open this door and imperil the healthcare of those who might become ill.

Voice your opinion by voting NO.  This is our right.
