A way to support greater legislative oversight of the UMC

Sign the petition in support of HCR-59 here.

As I noted earlier, this measure would be a positive step forward.

HCR-59 was scheduled for floor debate today in the Louisiana House of Representatives, but it's not clear from the website that the measure has been acted on at this point.

Tell your representative to support Representative Henry's HCR-59, which will likely come up on the floor of the Louisiana House tomorrow.

The measure would require greater oversight of the UMC hospital project by requiring full legislative approval before the project could move forward given the ongoing lack of a business plan and the uncertainty over $400 million in financing necessary for completion of the project.

If ever there was a project in need of greater oversight to protect taxpayers from a major boondoggle, this is it.
