Out of Wise Ass
NOTE: No satire today, boys and girls – we're fresh out.
Lost all my wise ass snark at Thursday's half-day Orientation meeting for the four new Commissioners who will decide the future direction of Broward Health – the seventh largest health scare system in the nation.
First things first:
I'm afraid I was totally off-base in my snide conclusion that Broward Lobbyist and Big Time Bundler Jim Blosser played a key role in the selection of the four new commissioners.
I've known – and worked with – Blosser for a number of years.
And these people are way too intelligent and curious to bear Blosser's stamp of approval and certified Republican hacks.
Bottom line?
Although understandably bewildered by the complex and surreal world of Big Health the Orientation session merely skimmed over, these people demonstrated a willingness to ask cut-to-the-chase questions.
Most impressive?
Richard Paul-Hus, the youngest of the new Commissioners.
More to come later.
But right now, I'm rethinking a ton of my previous cynical thought re the new citizen leadership settling in at North Broward Hospital District.
Oh yes.
One other highlight of Thursday Orientation session:
Sam Goren, the District's Interim General Counsel, gave the finest – and most scholarly – summation of Florida's Sunshine Laws that I've heard in all my years as a newspaperman.
