What we have here is...

I am a resident of the 

North Broward Hospital District.

For decades, a portion of my

 property taxes has gone to support the operations of this public hospital system

created by the Florida legislature

more than 60 years ago.

As one of the nation's ten largest

public hospital systems

with an annual budget of nearly

 $4 billion,

the District is governed by seven 

of my fellow Broward County

residents appointed by

the governor of Florida.

My question:

To whom are the 

District Commissioners

Accountable?

I have repeatedly

asked this question of the

seven District Commissioners

during their regular public meetings.

Each time, the seven Commissioners

have responded to my question

with silence.
