Dr Kumar is only trying to make this situation as dire as possible. His plane are and always were to bring down TRMC, de- valuing it making it as much a hardship on Tulare as possible as so he can purchase the building as cheaply as possible to operate the Hospital himself.
Unfortunately, my only sources are within the medical community itself and could be seen as only rumors.

In reply to Barbara.

Take a closer look. His statement is actually rather cryptic. He said something about donations not being the basis of a conflict (perhaps a reference to all the thousands of dollars in donations a certain prosecutor has taken from certain other persons?) and that they “won’t take action” on the facts presented. “Not taking action” isn’t the same thing as “no Brown Act violation.” Not that there was a violation (at least in my opinion for what that’s worth). The DA is trying to stay as far away from this as possible, lest someone continue to ask questions like “where is your public corruption investigation?” How many millions need to disappear for your office to get involved? Why don’t you open up a Government Code 1090 investigation into all of this? All unpleasant questions to be sure.

Just read in the VTD that the Tulare County DA said there was no violation of the Brown Act. So what’s next Kumar? You are an angry little person…..aren’t you embarrassed? Swallow your greedy pride and own up to the truth……the voters in your district had their say and they no longer want you as their board member and neither does the rest of the community. Go back to your private practice.

I attended the swearing in ceremony. Linda Wilbourn sat toward the left front of the room. Kevin Northcraft on the second or third row on the right side of the room. Mike Jamaica was standing against the wall on the right side of the room. Senovia Gutierrez was in the front row. I watched for interaction and other than shaking Senovia’s hand there wasn’t any discussions or Brown Act violations occurring.

Kevin left quickly after the meeting and then Linda. That left Mike and Senovia. Senovia was surrounded by well wishers. No business was discussed. A video was done. Watch it and check for yourselves.

I was at a hospital employee recognition at Kumar’s house in 2013. Shaun Bolouki joked the press would be reporting of a Brown Act violation since at least three hospital board members were present: Kumar, Bell, Avitia and not sure if there was anyone else.

Kumar is like a child throwing a temper tantrum. He didn’t get his way, or in this case the votes, he will do whatever he can to stop Senovia Gutierrez from being a hospital board of director.

Too late as she is certified by the Tulare County Elections office and sworn in under oath. He has been OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED REPLACED as a recalled hospital director. The bigger questions are why all the stall tactics? What is he up to?

Funny how all the things kumar is now claiming as unethical & unlawful are exactly the things he’s used or done in the past! You can rest assured he cares nothing for anything but himself! He certainly doesn’t care if he humiliates his family! He should have been investigated years ago!! He, by his own actions, have reduced himself to laughing stock in the city of Tulare!! HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED! But of course he’s not!!

Well since Sherrie Bells first meeting was a special meeting no less and they got rid of the Forensic Audit and the Attorneys that Kamboj, Smith and McPhetridge put in I would think he’s got something big to hide…..
Secret meetings at Skip Barwicks home doesn’t look good either.

In reply to Dave.

There was ‘rumor’ that Kumar bought the old McCarthy house on the corner of Gem and Prosperity and they were fixing it up for the outside Dr’s coming to our area to use…..
this makes sense, and it’s public record if someone wants to look up the title.
This may be owned by the hospital for the traveling Dr’s to use.
