Wayne and George appear to be acting just like the liberals in
Congress...they could care less how their actions are perceived by the
public.

ST. BERNARD'S HOSPITAL BOARD OPTS FOR NEW LEADERSHIP

New Chairman plans to quicken Commission's pace With newly appointed members
Wayne J. Landry and George Cavignac finally in place on St. Bernard Parish's
Hospital Service District Commission, the Board chose to elect them as
Chairman and Vice-Chairman on Wednesday, July 15th.  As the two took their
seats for the first time at Wednesday's meeting, fellow Board Commissioner
James DiFatta offered a motion of nomination for Mr. Landry to replace the
existing Chairman, Danny Dysart.
With the vote for Landry successful, Mr. DiFatta, the Board's Treasurer,
then went on to nominate Mr. Cavignac as Vice-Chairman to fill the officer
vacancy left by Dr. Bryan Bertucci's resignation.

 

Mr. Landry stated, "I'm honored that my fellow Commissioners have elected me
as Chairman to lead our hospital project forward.  This hospital is St.
Bernard's most critical recovery project -- not only to attract our
residents to return, but as a serious economic development tool.   I plan on
keeping a firm grasp of the situation to prevent any unnecessary delays."

 

Signs of this new pace were evident at the rest of the meeting, as a lengthy
20 item agenda was tackled, setting the stage for everything from necessary
committees to document preparations for contracts of various work required
for the hospital.  Elected also as Secretary was Commissioner Ron Chapman,
who was unable to attend Wednesday night's meeting.
