News Flash: A Fox From Asheboro Is Guarding the N.C. Center For Public Policy Research's Henhouse

Alerted by an incredulous friend, I quote the blurb above the Courier Tribune's paywall:

RALEIGH — The N.C. Center for Public Policy Research announced the election of seven new members to its statewide 23-member board of directors as well as new officers.

Bob Morrison of Randolph Hospital is among those elected to office. Morrison was elected treasurer for 2011. He is also the president and CEO of Randolph Hospital.

Like I said before (earlier today), I'm pretty much numb to this stuff now.  It's the same old crap, different day, in our state so concerned about transparency, accountability and ethics.

I rather liken electing a "non-profit" hospital CEO-who-is-guilty-of-perjury-contempt-&-fraud (anyone who wants to see the sworn court documents proving Morrison's guilt need only give me a call - the Randolph County District Attorney hasn't) as treasurer of your organization, to UNC-Chapel Hill teaming-up with ex-Senator-now-porn-star, John Edwards, for the purposes of fighting poverty.

Bob Morrison is a snob, a bully and a liar and a crook.  His "yes-men-&-women-need-only-apply/right-people-rule" management style is one of the reasons Asheboro is in the sorry shape it's in.

I'm also thinking that, as a matter of public policy, this sends a very disturbing message to the public - or rather two very distrubing messages:

(1)  It's okay to professionally & legally terrorize doctors for blowing the whistle on bad care at your hospital. 

Better to set an example, so the next physician will just roll over and let the baby die.

(2)  It's also okay to rip-off the community you serve (recently deemed one of America's fastest "dying towns") in the form of your $700,000/year salary - under the pretense of charity and the public good.
