As a 35 year veteran R.N, I am thankful that I do not find myself in the midst of the mess at Westlake.

As a healthcare professional, I hope that as Westlake and Adair County finds it's way out of this mess, that I can again someday speak of Westlake without shame and embarrassment.

There was a time that I was proud to be associated with Westlake, which was back in 1980 when we opened the hospital with an excellent CEO, Jerry Miller, and also an excellent Director of Nursing, Jean Meyer, and a competent Board of Directors. The hospital always ran in the black during that administration.

I hope that the ones responsible for the mess that started in 2004 will get their just reward, no matter what their administrative positions were. Adair County is angry and rightfully so.- Carole Thomas

To my knowledge the (writer names two elements of the Adair County media mix not including us, but I'm not giving them a lot of free publicity here by naming them - EW) had publicly announced that in order to sign the hospital tax recall petition you had to have voted in the last presidential election, and that is not true. The amount of signatures needed is based on the number of voters in the last presidential election.

The number of signatures needed is based on the number of voters in the last presidential election.

So the only requirements which are needed to sign the petition is: You must be registered to vote in Adair County, and you must sign listing your precinct. -Crystal Kimbler
