Don’t be DECEIVED by the Carney Barker Naramore The Blount County Commission Amendment to the 1945 Private Act “authorized and empowered Blount County to build, own, and/or operate and maintain a non-profit general hospital, acting by and through its Quarterly County Court.” There are Court Cases from 1962 where the BMH, attorney admits Blount County owns the BMH assets. If it weren’t for the WBCR satire news team of “True and Karen” and the listeners calling Mayor Mitchell about the Tn Comptroller’s audit over the past 15 years showing BMH, INC. losing over $125 million, they have gone unnoticed violating their own bylaws in appointing Naramore as CEO, and then trying to sell and lease back the Springbrook Health Center. Thanks to Truth Radio’s listeners for acting on their information and holding our elected officials accountable who in turn are trying to hold the BMH. INC. Board of Directors is accountable. Please call TN Representative Jerome Moon at 615-741-5481 and ask him why he withdrew his name as a sponsor of the Blount County Amendment to the 1945 Private Act that clearly states plainly Blount County Commissioners have the “authority to either accept the legal title to such hospital to be operated by some non-profit corporation organized for such purposes, or to own such hospital and turn over the maintenance and operation thereof to such non-profit corporation. Does he not think Blount County is not the owner of its hospital? The complete 1945 Private Act #187 CANNOT BE ATTACHED WE APOLOGIZE attached from the Library of the Tenessee General Assembly. as well as the proposed amendment passed by a 2/3 majority of the Blount County Commission in February’s business meeting.
