The audit started on 2/13 and will take 3-6 months…per the State Auditor

Barbara, I do not think you’re wrong. The above article mentions Kumar attorney, Michael Allan. Along with Michael Allan, Kumar used the political PR firm Capitol Core Group whose principal is a former Allan co-worker, Michael McKinney. Capitol Core Group’s mission as stated on their website is, “Frame the discussion…Take charge of the issues, win the campaign”. Capitol Core tried to do the first two…the third, judging by the 80% vote to recall Kumar, not so much.

Not only do I use my real name when I comment, I also admit to speculation., When I read the numerous comments that take a minor point (e.g. who is doing the compliance and procedures…a medical professional or a clerical person), then cast doubt on the current Board’s spending…liken it to Benzeevi’s, then end with close the hospital, I am left to speculate someone is framing the discussion, taking charge of the issue, and again trying to win the campaign.

In order to believe the above comments about the current Board of the Hospital District one would have to assume that the Bankruptcy court, bankruptcy attorneys (including HCCA’s) and the more than 1000 creditors HCCA left in its wake (again, including HCCA) are asleep at the wheel while wild spending is going on at the Tulare Local Healthcare District. They refer to the money is almost gone!” What money? The money was gone months ago, including the $3 million Benzeevi received from Celtic Leasing. Was that money from Celtic used to pay the vendors that had not been paid for more than 12 months? Was that money used for payroll to prevent not paying employees more than three times and pay their benefits, like COBRA and PTO? Was it mailed to the Hospital District and deposited in a District bank account? And, what happened to all the money collected in the year that those vendors and employees were being stiffed? Where is that money? I think those are much bigger questions to be asked than who is preparing Compliance and Procedure reports.

So those of you that are framing, taking charge, and trying to win the campaign….want to take a crack at that question? #where is the money?

Get out of the quagmire

Yeah you get my point…..I spoke in language that only a Benzeevi shamalamadingdong could identify with…..thanks for confirming that. Your posts do not support you being “truly concerned” but does support you having no true support or encouragement in the reopening of our hospital.
