Inquiry Sought
Private persons engaged in the lawful business of providing medical care for the poor have made serious charges against the bureaucrats at county general hospital.
It has been the position of the Alliance of Taxpayers that the methods used by these same bureaucrats to finance hospital expansion is very unethical, untimely and deprives the taxpayers of the right to vote. Allowing bureaucrats to spend taxpayer money without public scrutiny and voter approval can easily result in inappropriate and perhaps criminal behavior.
The alliance calls for a grand jury investigation into this whole matter.
