Dave Edmiston named
vice president of
Texas Farm Bureau
Texas Farm Bureau held its state convention in Corpus Christi
last week which represented more than 513,000 member families.
Texas Farm Bureau is the state's largest farm and ranch organization with over a billion dollars in company assets.
Elected as new president during the meeting was Russell
Boening of Poth. It was the first change in presidency in 12
years. Outgoing president, Kenneth Dierschke of Tom Green
County, retired from the position.
Dave Edmiston of McCulloch County was elected vice
president, and Robert Gordon of Dallam County was elected
secretary/treasurer by the state board of directors.
More than 1,100 farmers and ranchers from across the state
met for the 81st annual meeting. Brackish water, property rights
and fertilizer regulations topped the list of concerns during the
policy session.
GUN & BLADE SHOW
By James Stewart
Gary Sutton, a resident of
Melvin and former challenger
for a spot on the local hospital
district board, has apparently
retained the legal services of
an Austin attorney and is
threatening to sue the hospital
district if they do not cancel a
lease agreement between the
hospital district and a nursing
home facility located in Crane.
The letter, sent to the local
hospital board members by
Max Renea Hicks on behalf of
Sutton and Kimmie Ivey, demands the lease be terminated
by Feb. 27, 2015, or they will
pursue further legal options
with respect to the lease.
The hospital district signed
a lease with the Crane nursing home back in June as part
of an Upper Payment Limit
program (UPL) in an effort to
bring state and federal funds
into the county. The McCulloch
County Hospital District Board
of Directors entered into the
Medicaid Upper Payment Limit
program to take advantage of
federal reimbursements.
"The Nursing Facility UPL
program is one of the latest
innovative decisions made by
the local board to bring federal
dollars to our community that
will help deliver the right care,
at the right place, and at the right
time," said Tim Jones, CEO of
the local hospital.
In order to receive the additional federal funding, a
nursing facility license must
be owned by a hospital district,
authority, or city/county. The
McCulloch County Hospital
District acquired the license
for the nursing facility in Crane
and is also working with the
local nursing home on the same
program.
According to Jones, the hospital district does not actually
own the nursing facility, but
rather merely owns the license
issued by the state. With this
license, federal dollars via the
program are returned to the
hospital district and used to
help fund and enhance the care
provided at the nursing facility
as well as provide additional
healthcare for the residents of
McCulloch County.
“The State of Texas ranks in
the 48th percentile nationally in
terms of Medicaid reimbursement and this program will
assist in improving care locally
with federal resources," said
Jones. "The program will also
allow the district board to keep
our property taxes low like they
currently are. The district’s current tax rate is $0.12, which is
nearly one-third of the district
average of $0.33 for other
hospitals in our region.
“Cities and counties often
seek federal support for help
with water projects and drought
assistance programs," said
Jones. "The nursing facility
upper payment limit program is
no different, in that it provides
federal resources locally for
healthcare improvement.”
The hospital district was
required to pay a $725 licensing fee to the state in order to
participate in the UPL program.
That standard fee applies to
each nursing home license
that is carried by a hospital
district and hospitals can carry
multiple licenses. The nursing
home UPL program also has a
90-day, no-cause termination
clause which will allow the
hospital to terminate affiliation
with the program. Revenues
generated by participating in
the program are being used to
help offset the $2-2.5 million
of annual indigent care fees that
are written off annually by the
local hospital.
McCulloch County is not the
only hospital district participating in the UPL program. Other
governmental hospitals in Gonzales, Coryell, Childress, Jack
and Chambers have also begun
participating in the program.
In response to the letter sent
by Hicks, Jones issued the fol-
lowing statement, "The District
is prepared to defend its position regarding the nursing home
UPL program if required. The
benefits of the program bring
federal support to our community that allow the board of
directors to maintain one of the
lowest property tax rates in the
region. There are many hospital
districts structured in the same
manner as our local body that
participate in the nursing home
upl program with facilities from
across the state."
The demand letter states
that the hospital district's lease
agreement is illegal because it
is beyond the scope of powers
allocated the district.

Notes on 12-17-2014 Loyalist Tribune Article
1.
Note who the author is . . . James Stewart . . . so you can put on your chesthigh wading boots to withstand all the BS that’s gonna be slung your way.
2.
Gary Sutton has gonads the size of a pachyderm and, unlike any other local
politico, he keeps his promises. He said while campaigning that he would see his
Hospital Mission through . . . win or lose . . . and he’s doing just that. You
Loyalists can bitch all you want about the guy . . . but he’s got a conscience he’s
willing to stand by.
3.
Then James “Goebbels” Stewart starts whining about Sutton hiring an
attorney. Hell’s Bells . . . Clay Jones and Tim Jones are surrounded by a pack of
blood-thirsty lawyers . . . all gnashing their teeth to keep us lowly citizens from
getting ANY information from the McCulloch County Hospital District.
Clay and ‘ol Tim are notorious for saying they’ll “open their books” for any of us
to see. That’s an unmitigated lie. Try for yourself if you don’t believe me.
With their lies in mind, I issue them this challenge . . . Allow me to hire a forensic
accountant of my choosing, and give him or her unfettered access to the Hospital’s
Records and we can prove once and for all who’s lying.
Refuse and we’ll ALL know you’re the crooks we think you are.
4.
Anytime you see a quote from Tim Jones, or speak to him in person, you’d
best dress for the interaction. Be sure and wear zip-locked pockets to protect your
wallet because either him or a minion will be trying to steal your moola.
5.
Tim Jones just can’t keep himself from lying . . . and James “Goebbels”
Stewart dutifully reports these lies as if they were listed with the Ten
Commandments.
James writes . . . “The McCulloch County Hospital District acquired the license
for the nursing facility in Crane and is also working with the local nursing
home on the same program.”
Okey-doke . . . who’s lying? Goebbels or Tim Jones?
Because according to the contract for Brady West . . . this deal was consummated
9-1-2014.
THREE AND ONE-HALF MONTHS BEFORE THIS PROPAGANDA
PIECE WAS PENNED!!
6.
Another interesting tidbit . . . “The hospital district was required to pay a
$725 licensing fee to the state in order to participate in the UPL program.”
$725 gets us an annual return of $500,000!?!?
Of course they don’t tell us that we have to pay the nursing home $40,000 a month
to receive this benefit! $480,000 a year. Not quite the DEAL we’re being told
about, huh?
So . . . what’s the catch?
They’re hiding their records like they were nuclear secrets . . . all the while
professing quite loudly that their “books are open.”
7.
This propaganda is just full of juicy lies to slam-dunk them with . . .
“McCulloch County is not the only hospital district participating in the UPL
program. Other governmental hospitals in Gonzales, Coryell, Childress, Jack
and Chambers have also begun participating in the program.”
Well, well, not a Big Hospital in the bunch.
Why’s that? Why isn’t Scott & White picking this FREE money off the ground?
Why is it just smaller hospitals?
Because the main guru for all of these hospitals is a fella in Lubbock?
This question has always intrigued me.
We’ll eventually find the answer.
8.
And . . . “The District is prepared to defend its position regarding the
nursing home UPL program if required. The benefits of the program bring
federal support to our community that allow the board of directors to maintain
one of the lowest property tax rates in the region. There are many hospital
districts structured in the same manner as our local body that participate in the
nursing home upl program with facilities from across the state.”
Oh really?
You folks hide behind lawyers the citizens pay for while we have to use our OWN
money to get records that should be readily available to us.
It’s not the Hospital District who’s making these God-awful and probably illegal
decisions . . . it’s you, Clay Jones. It’s you, Tim Jones. It’s you, Morticia.
Why don’t y’all use your own money to defend your illegal positions?
The ultimate questions about all of this . . . that will NEVER be asked by James
Stewart . . . IF THIS IS SUCH A GREAT DEAL, WHY DID Y’ALL HIDE
THE DECISIONS? WHY DIDN’T Y’ALL SCREAM THEM OUT FROM
THE COURTHOUSE ROOF?
Regular citizens had to research the problems and announce them themselves.
Therein lies the rub. The smell of corruption is everywhere.
