To the Editor:

Are things beginning to move with the hospital?

I noticed a particular phrase used, "The Authority," when dealing with choosing a new lessee.

Just who is "The Authority" (names)? Sounds like they’ll make the final decision on choice of the new lessee, and the people of Midwest City have a right to know their names.

I have a definite opinion as to just who should not vote this time around. I think the four people who were responsible for picking HMA, the corporation for destroying Midwest Regional and its very fine reputation.

Former Mayor Eddie Reed who cast the winning (swing) vote, and likewise the members of the "Authority" who were on the council at that time, should be disqualified in the selection of a new lessee. My reason? Two of the corporations involved then, are also interested now, and quite frankly I wouldn’t trust them to not be prejudiced in this next vote!!

So, this time, I hope the vote will be honest and fair.
