So what about past is past.
HCCA ran TRMC into the ground NOW!!!!!
DA is investigating. Items from TRMC found up in Southern Inyo Hospital. Highly illegal because of registraion and wholesale laws. And both Districts ran into the ground by Benzeevi and Company.
All who knew about anything regarding hiding or evading should be put in prison. It is up to DA to get it right.
Vote your consience.

In reply to frustrated.

She didn’t say that the 2016 bond “passed” but that HCCA downplayed if not outright tried to hide facts about the 2005 bond…..much like you are doing when “trying to defend” Benzeevi/HCCA.

In reply to EH.

Anyone on these articles who “defended” HCCA are assumed to be Benny. Most people on here are trying so hard to make Benny a bad guy at all means.

In reply to Catherine.

Catherine, the 2016 did not pass. This a just to point out how some of these claims against HCCA are outright incorrect and totally fabricate and it needs to be rectified.

frustrated: to clarify HCCA did not have anything to do with the first 2005 bond. HCCA is guilty of sweeping it under the carpet so they could get their 2016 $55 million bond passed. The two bond votes are connected.

Frustrated your totally correct, I’m not defending Benzeevi, there was plenty of shady stuff going on, however,facts are facts, HCCA took over management when there was no money in the bank, the tower was flapping in the wind and they sealed it up to prevent further damage, they had to settle the issue with the contractor who used sub standard materials, they weren’t the ones who made all the change orders that cost overruns, this was the grand jury report and it was before HCCA which is why the DA couldn’t do anything about HCCA. Keep it straight. As I said, no Benzeevi fan, but facts are facts

The missing $50 million was part of an $85 million dollar bond that was approved in 2005 to build a new tower at TRMC.

This bond was approved in 2005. WAY BEFORE HCCA. get your facts straight Valley Voice. Do you know when this bond money ran out? WAY BEFORE HCCA entered in 2014. How is this investigation going? How come no one can find out where this money went to? Everyone that was involved then should be questioned. Why do you connect this missing money with HCCA? What is you motive?

Ward’s a crook. Bensleazy, Thulu, Kumar…how many more “donations” will it take for people to wake up. Only thing missing is a “me too” moment. But who knows?

Kumar was Wards biggest campaign contributor which explains why he was so reluctant to investigate the theft of our hospital by Benzeevi and Kumar. When the hospital bond failed and when a Kumar was recalled by a huge margin, Ward finally saw the light. The investigation he is now conducting should have started 3 years ago. He does not deserve to be our District Attorney.

There’s more corruption than just in big matters like these. It’s possibly more systemic and endemic than these cases.

Look into how many arrests occur, with cases referred to the da that are not dropped for no evidence but linger until the statute of limitations runs out.

When this happens, it cleverly and unfairly imposes burdens and injustices on “the little guy”.

Problem is, Darby used to work for Ward, so will he talk about this? It’s your job to find out!
