PETITION 25
PETITION FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCE
TO: The Honorable House of Representatives
FROM: Petitioner Representative Kathleen Souza, Hills. 11
DATE: October 26, 2011
SUBJECT: Grievance of the Community Action Group to Save CMC Again
Your Petitioner, Representative Souza on behalf of the Community Action Group to Save CMC Again, hereinafter presents the following summary of grievance involving the Attorney General’s Office and invokes the constitutional authority and duty of the Honorable House of Representatives pursuant to said Articles 31 and 32 to bring about redress:
Grievance involving the Attorney General, Michael Delaney, for failure to investigate and issue a report on the issue of the salary of the chief executive officer of Catholic Medical Center (CMC), after the attorney general found, during a review of a proposed affiliation transaction in which Dartmouth Hitchcock Health was to acquire CMC, that not only was the transaction illegal, but that the salary of the CMC chief executive officer was “significantly higher than her peers” and “an area of significant concern to the attorney general.”
Wherefore, your Petitioner prays that the House of Representatives consider this proposed remedy:
Request by resolution that the Attorney General report his office’s findings and recommendations for legislation within 30 days to address excessive chief executive officer compensation for certain charitable organizations in the 2012 legislative session and that the Attorney General publicly reprimand the chief executive officer of CMC and the CMC board of trustees.
Respectfully Submitted by Petitioner Representative Souza on behalf of the Community Action Group to Save CMC Again.
