To all the people who ask, why does it have to be Champion to do the ER in north Baton Rouge.
Yes we want them. No one else was interested before them. I'm sure you've had someone do something for you before who didn't really want to do it. They probably half tail did it. I don't want someone to come into my community after they said we didn't need an ER and give us a "Advanced Care Center" not an ER. Scott Wester CEO of OLOL said "it is a myth they need an ER in north Baton Rouge."
Not to mention, no one had a plan before the ?#?NBRNow? Blue Ribbon commission got this partner, now they want to disrespect our work and offer a lesser proposal for our community. Why didn't all these white people show interest before. The commission is made up of 9 people of color. Six of them are people with PH.D. level education. It is disrespectful to us and our efforts. It is shameful that black people some in the community some in the legislature aren't supporting the black group that got a tangible solution to a MAJOR problem.
It's like a football game where we run the ball to the one yard line and let the white guy score the touchdown so his stat sheet says he got so many points. That's wrong, and we as a community should be able to see that. No one was willing to address this problem before. We need people not just with the ability, but the will to help us!
