In reply to Joseph Soares.

SA isn’t ignorant of how the law works but he does sound like someone who has a “personal gripe” against Lampe……maybe due to some type of legal matter? He is just anther spokesperson for Benzeevi/HCCA, etc. (could it be Kumar or Torrez or Wilbourn???)

SA I find your comments curious and ignorant of how the law works. If you have a Personal gripe against Lampe that’s one thing. But to make a statement that a local attorney can’t have passions like anyone else simply ignores reality. As an attorney myself I believe the lawsuit should be the last resort in any dispute. But SA how would you suggest we handle a management company working for public entity that refuses to provide public documents and uses the public funds has his own bank account. Should we just ignore them? Or should we make a stand and forced him to abide by the law. I support the latter.

Like him or not, Lampe picked up the cause and agreed to represent
those plaintiffs. You seem to not understand the fact that if he is not successful he does not get paid. You also seem to not understand that if his recent lawsuit is successful the district stands to gain significant amount of money from reimbursement. You also seem to not understand the fact that filing and prosecuting a trial is expensive. Who will pay for that? You? The The citizens of The district are fortunate that we have an attorney in this community to take up the cause and help us keep our public hospital
Unless you want to keep the hospital as it is today with poor quality and on the edge of financial ruin, I suggest you allow the lawsuits and Lampe to continue or on alternatively you can finance your own lawsuit.

In reply to SA.

SA-
I dont think Mr Lampe forced Citizens to hire him.
Who knows if Mr Lampe is even being paid?
Anyone who devotes to fight our fight is welcome.
You, SA, on the other hand, looks like trying to make an issue out of non-issue.

SA. I also found it intriguing that an arrogant thief (Benny) who lives in Visalia but is from down south is trying to ruin our hospital and his money hungry lawyers from down south are trying to help him. Mr. Lampe was born and raised in Tulare. He has many friends and family from here. This is effecting everyone from all areas of THIS valley. Typical HCCA fan attacks. They have nothing else.

This is not a comment as to the merit or credibility of the lawsuits, will leave that to a capable judicial system, but rather the attorney who filed on “behalf of plaintiffs”. I always found it intriguing why a local attorney had time to be grand standing at a local Health Care District Board meeting when he is from Visalia and now there is clarity. Yes, perhaps if the funds are awarded to the plaintiffs it would be returned to The District, but buried in the complaint is recovery for attorney fees. This is not the first time he has used well meaning citizens of Tulare and their good name to promote his own income, as he so stated in a memoriam piece about Dr Drilling published June 1st in The Valley Voice. Mr Lampe you are a poster child for reasons the CSBA should require MPRE annually. You are an embarrassment to the profession, one rung below an ambulance chaser, at least they are up front about their agenda, you sir, are not. You have taken upstanding citizens who have every right to express their concerns and have manipulated into your own financial gain. If I am wrong, perhaps you could publicly commit to whatever you may receive as a donation to the Tulare Hospital Foundation

Despite the recall election and the recount, Kumar is still a board member according to the hospital’s website! We are paying the thief Benzeevi millions of dollars so he can laugh at the will of the Tulare citizens.

Very very sad and embarrassing. Thanks to the thief Benzeevi, the hospital is a big joke now.

In reply to Tulare True.

We should write an open letter to the DA, and ask him what is his current price. We should raise that much money and buy him to work for us.
