AT
4:25 P.M. ON JAN. 11, Cookeville Regional Medical Center security forces
halted inspection of public records detailing how much and for what the
government-owned facility paid its part-time lawyer, T. Michael O'Mara.
|
However, a partial
inspection of the public documents shows that between June
and November 1999, O'Mara received more than $36,000 -- an average
of $7,000 per month -- while he also billed taxpayers separately for his
counsel as Cookeville's city attorney. |
O'Mara
said guards were called in to close down the records inspection because,
although records by law are open for inspection during regular business
hours, The Pit declined to quit an hour before hospital administration
closed.
This was the second
consecutive time The Pit has been pulled away from hospital records.
