It's sad that so much money is being drained from old people and taxpayers in substandard nursing homes that HHC/American Senior Communitites runs. It's very difficult to figure out exactly who really runs ASC -James Burkhart is the CEO (?), he is or was on BOD of Monroe Bancorp, a holding co for Monroe Bank...does anyone know if Gutwein et al have a finger in ASC- it's privately owned- very convenient.
Oh yeah repubs, I'm a proud bleedin heart liberal Flo Nightengale who has seen first hand the literal sh--t that ASC is full of- I don't like nursing homes getting rich while patients get poor care due to inadequate staffing and resources.
Sometimes R's and D's who are tired of corporate shenanigans really DO have something in common!
Follow the money.

Well it looks like HHC got their way. Democrats were running a phone bank outside the precinct where I worked in an obvious pro-labor
GOTV effort for the construction jobs associated with the new Wishard

so where do we get results?

DI, You're right. I forgot all about that.

A big NO. When pleas and guilt pepetually replace explanation and merit, why do we pay for this stuff?

Thanks for the coverage we didn't get anywhere else, Gary.

If this passes what recourse do we the property taxpayers have? We have written proof that this was called a referendum with no tax increase-Now when this proves not to be true, we should be able to go back to the state and Wishard for misrepresenting this. What is the answer to that question lawyers?

The Indy Red Star Rag is NOT our local watchdog.
They ARE a lapdog of the liberals.

Great job Gary.

I must say I'm not surprised they'd work 'yes vote' into the front page headlines today.

There was a time when they'd stop running voting-related stories a couple days before elections - in the interest of 'fairness.'

I would like to reitterate HEI's praise for the work Gary did on this. He steadfastly refuted the "Wishard facts" point by point. It's too bad our local watchdog - the Indianapolis Star - decided to look the other way, repeatedly, while H&H was allowed to pull every dishonest stunt in the book.

If it is approved, the City County Council and the Media need to get answers why the Board of the Health & Hospital Corp are planning to spend $750 million of taxpayer money to build a new 300 bed hospital (53 beds less than the current Wishard), when Cook County Hospital recently replaced a old 13 building hospital campus and spent $123 million LESS money and got 164 MORE hospital beds.

Something that should have been examined in detail and answered long before today.

I did say no ...first thing this morning.

2009-11-03T09:07:35.953-05:00

The Star continues to plea, bargain and cajole for this project as evidenced in today's paper. One wonders how the Star can characterize the Wishard referendum as a debate when they have consistently published a one-sided stand on the issue. They again repeat these canards,this won't raise property taxes and Wishard will cease to exist unless we vote yes.

Nothing in this issue has passed the "smell test", I voted no.

2009-11-03T08:12:57.126-05:00

Four claps for the job you have done these many months. Beginning with the illumination of the H&H nursing home businesses and the suspicious manner of leasing them from the same company they contract with for operating them - all of which they claim allows them to get extra fees from the government. If it isn't illegal, it ought to be.

We shall know more this evening.

I think you might be pleasantly surprised. Even though the word is out for city employees and unions to vote for it (because of the union jobs hired by the project), the people paying the taxes are not believing the rhetoric put forth by HHC.
