A few days ago, I attended and videoed a 43-minute status hearing on the alleged sunshine law violations of Broward Health former commissioners Rodriguez, Capasso, Robinson, and current commissioner Ure as well a former Broward Health corporate counsel Barrett before the honorable Judge Pole in Broward County Court. This multiple sunshine cases and its companion case relating to the alleged …
Slack tide comes to Broward Health
Broward Health will start 2019 with a political and practical slack tide, a short period that is completely unstressed. This period occurs before the newly elected state and local political, and governmental forces are settled with their organizational transitions. I followed Broward Health’s activities generally since 1996 and intently since 2011. Never during that time have I seen a time …
Ding, dong. Broward Health’s Wicked Witch is Dead
Beginning just before the September 26 Board meeting, things began to change at Broward Health precipitated by the completely unfounded and unprecedented, personal attack against Commissioner Klein by corporate counsel Lynn Barrett. Change, primarily because Chairperson Klein had the temerity to exercise his oversight responsibilities and question Corporate Counsel Barrett. Barrett, never particularly willing to issue a legal opinion herself, used …
Broward Health Board Begins to Come Together
Wow, September 12th – another full day of meetings at Broward Health. My last article was over a month ago, and since that time there have been two all-day Broward Health Board and committee meeting(September 12th & 26th). I recorded and posted to YouTube both days of meetings. There were some remarkable moments in these recordings but even more remarkable …

Broward Health: so much to do, so little time to do it. “Les jeux sont faits!”
Broward Health – Vote for anyone but Rick Scott
How do you hold a Board, that is politically appointed by the Governor, accountable? Embarrassment without a credible threat of removal goes just so far for Board members who too often care little for their reputations. Since 2012, I have attended most Broward Health Board meetings, and been writing articles published here and in my blogs www.BrwdHealth.com and DanLewisReport.com. My …
Broward Legal
No longer Broward Health, now it Barrett’s Broward Legal While working on some other Broward Health articles, I awoke to find the following “Broward Legal” ‘contact’ message to me from a former Broward Health physician. I found the message so striking, on point and exactly right that I had to immediately make it into a post. While the contact was …
Broward Health’s Legal Czar Barrett Weaponizing the IRO
Broward Health Board’s failure to provide any effective oversight into the activities of Corporate Counsel’s legal department has allowed Broward Health’s legal czar Barrett to weaponize the IRO process against those she feels are against her in the organization. The cost of Barrett’s misuse of Broward Health’s legal resources is humongous – in the millions of dollars. Details are largely …
Broward Health gives Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO) to Executives
The PTO payouts were more than five million dollars ($5,000,000) Last March, Broward Health’s CEO Beverly Capasso and her executive team unilaterally decided to pay off all accrued employee time for tier 1 and tier 2 employees (about 300 managers), eliminate PTO accruals, and institute a policy of unlimited paid time off (as approved by their managers). The payouts were …
