The Board--4/22

I don't know exactly where to post this - but it must be said:
We are giving E$$ent all the credit for the straight running crap that has and is taking place since "Hud" came to Lamar county.

One wonders - what about Hud's "Board of Directors?" Are these not local "folks" with a sincere interest in our community?

I am led to believe one of two things: they are either blind - or integrity is a word with which they are unfamiliar. Does any one else have any thoughts on this?

That was from an email, but I had thoughts when they recommended Essent over HCA, and the recommendation apparently was on the basis of two things:

1. HCA wanted to disband the board.
2. The board membership is now 'compensated.'

I really feel better knowing that a retired football coach is on the board that determines my healthcare alternatives. Are the others equally as qualified? One only wonders....

Corporations have been jumping on the board of directors bandwagon for years--that's how the executives get the exorbitant salaries, and how board members get paid...despite not attending meetings.

Where is the outrage? Isn't there plenty when Congress votes itself a pay raise?

Hospital boards should be representing the community. When was the last time you saw a solicitation from a board member for input from the community? Probably the last time you saw a suggestion box in the hospital....
