iconoclast says
Former AV Hospital (now AVMC) CEO Dennis Knox was going to establish an emergency pediatric center in conjunction with UCLA, but he was fired by the Board of whom 4 members are still on it. This was going to be established on the eastside of Palmdale. This same CEO was trying to work something out with the VA for veterans care.
Frex says
Of course he was fired. Do you think Rex wants anything going to Palmdale’s east side, or anywhere in Palmdale for that matter? He has spent his working life suing Palmdale, forcing voting districts which he won’t have, and funding candidates who serve his interests rather than the interests of Palmdale residents. He is pure scum.
