Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Kudos to you, Joanne Brown, and to you, Bob Klitzki, and to you, BJ Cruz (for asking about the shiny SUVs that's on loan to Adelup from GPD). Thank you for staying the course and asking the hard questions and for staying focused on how and where the money to bail the hospital was/is going to come from and why it was suddenly the situation was suddenly declared an emergency when the victim was breathless years ago.....certainly months ago when the vendors and the American Red Cross stopped allowing charges for services or supplies from being made........
There were three long days of relentless questions from Joanne Brown and Bob Klitzki and BJ Cruz who would not let the people from the administration skate by with the 'I'll get back to you' replies. They would no longer be satisfied with these replies and didn't mince words at their displeasure about being called in for a 'manufactured emergency'. There were actually questions that no one from the administration seemed to want to answer and at one time, Andy Jordanau used the term 'moving forward' five times consecutively, as if his responses were rehearsed. I was embarrassed for the man who used to run one of the island's largest, most respected banks. He is totally clueless to what's going on and had absolutely no idea about how or where the money was going to be found to help solve the problems at the hospital....pity...all he coult think of was...'moving forward'....probably wishing that Joanne Brown would do just that!
The more the questions were asked, the more was uncovered that perhaps money was available and that perhaps funds could have been given the hospital earlier and bit by bit, the senators would discover that money that could have been given to the hospital was given to other agencies that didn't need it as urgently as the hospital did/does....and now, you know it too after the three-day telethon...
I'm not campaigning for Joanne Brown or Bob Klitzki but based on how they represented my thoughts on how funds should be handled.....I sure would like to see them get re-elected....
There were some looney toon characters there........like the one that said....let's give them the money today and figure out what's wrong tomorrow or ask questions tomorrow or something to that tune........but then, he's a newbie....what does one expect from a newbie?
You owe it to yourself.....Channel 61 the next time the legislature's in session, better-n the Discovery Channel!
