It certainly is not monetary, as you continue to imply. The group you belong to has been a loud and dominant voice in what has become a one-sided campaign against some truly fine people. I know most of the players here and I would never suggest--as you do--that any of them is a crook. I know otherwise. They are some of the finest of us and they are not, as you suggest, throwing widows and orphans into the snow. They are trying to help get well and trying desperately and against overwhelming odds to make the cost of health care affordable. The clinic model lends itself to that end.moreFRONThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13350600751587766930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077386656187888581.post-17120001756156044972009-12-07T15:35:18.296-05:002009-12-07T15:35:18.296-05:00I am no fan of the Roanoke Times.

For fear of retribution, they have yet to fully expose the huge financial conflicts of the Carilion boardmembers.<br /> A curious journalist would wonder why a "not for profit", charity hospital would have boardmembers getting rich off their association with the hospital. Take a close look at the no bid contracts with Jay Turner, the hotel deal for Warner Dallhouse, the development deals with Alexander Boone and the grants to Vic Iannello.<br /> These payoffs to boardmembers are a disgrace to this community. How can you confiscate homes from patient's and then turn around and hand out the money to these rich boardmembers? Carilion boardmembers should eliminate any and all financial dependence on Carilion or resign from the board. There are plenty of intelligent and responsible citizens willing to serve on the Carilion board without the pressure of financial conflicts.<br /> Only when these conflicts are eliminated can the community have faith that Carilion is working on our behalf. And Dan, having read you for years, if you were not conflicted....you would feel the same way.<br />MRS.!!!!

I would have been interested, too. Wouldn't you? As I've said, my interest here has nothing to do with money and my guess is that anybody who questions the local daily would have no credibility with you, in any case. You seem consistent in that, anyway. What is your interest in the powerful corporate monolith (owned by outside interests) on Campbell Ave.? Is it monetary?
