Cough It Up, Bob

Regular readers will recall that back in December, I requested public records from Randolph Hospital . . . specifically, copies of IRS 990's for RMA and Randolph Hospital for the last three fiscal years, as well as comprehensive lists of the "non-profit's" Board members/Corporate Membership (by year) since 1995 (the year I began work for RMA).

I've actually found copies of the 990's I requested in a misplaced box of files. But I still want the lists of Randolph's Board members and Corporate Membership . . . which, "to the best of his knowledge", Bob says he is not required to provide (?!?). Even if the information was not public information (and it is) . . . I'm still not understanding why Randolph Hospital's Board members would be so cagey about their "honorary" positions.

Well, actually, I do understand. Too much rubber has probably burned off their rubber stamps . . . and these guys have figured out they/their hospital actually may have to answer for some of the things they let Morrison and Eblin do to me.

Last week, the N.C. Supremes issued a decision that contradicts Bob's knowledge.

Public records are owned by the people. And once again, the Board Members and Corporate Membership of a "non-profit" hospital are, by definition, public record. Translation: If you accept the taxpayer's largess, you also accept their scrutiny.

Another letter to Morrison is being drafted this week. The premise is simple: If you are an executive of the "non-profit" you don't have the right to withhold public information. So cough it up, dipwad. And at this point in your little game of smug, never-ending oneupmanship, I'm not real inclined to pay the postage. But if you insist on being a jerk, I'll be happy to pay it just to be clear on the names of the fine, upstanding community leaders who rubber-stamped all the despicable/amoral/illegal things you did.

Of course, you're not supposed to have the right to lie in Court about (in effect withhold) your financial records either . . . or negotiate a deal on false information . . . well, unless you're a "right person" living and working under the jurisdiction of the habitually-intemperate Garland Yates.

And I WILL be taking up the matter of Bob & Steve repeatedly lying under Oath about the confidentiality-of-things-that-were-not-confidential with various oversight agencies and the state of North Carolina later this year.

"Crazy Mary", you see, was not so "crazy" after all.
