Of course we all want a fully functioning hospital.  I totally agree with you.  That said, my question is...….what if this hospital doesn&#039;t reopen.....does this hospital board have some type of Plan B in mind?  Having some idea of possible back up plans just in case is not giving up.....it is simply having a generalized backup plan in place JUST IN CASE! Trying to be practical doesn&#039;t mean being disloyal...…….. or does it?</description>

		<description>Of course it must be stipulated that it should remain a fully functioning hospital! That’s what we’re fighting all this for.  If not, they could turn it into a day-care! We lost control last time; we must fight for a fully functioning hospital! With proper control, a good contract and board oversight (which the previous board gave away) we’d be willing to fund a bond.</description>

		<description>So we now have a questionable and highly improbable “HELL MARY PASS”, an appointed RFP committee to come up with ideas/suggestions for…….??.... and a set-in-stone board determination that NOTHING but a hospital will be considered!!   GEEZ…….  Since we are “in a state of emergency” one prays that there is at the very least a contingency plan “IF” all else fails.</description>
