Plaquemine Hospital Get Cash Advance from State
It seems that bailouts aren't only happening in Congress. State health
officials have put up $150,000 to ensure that employees
of River West Medical Center in Plaquemine can cash their paychecks.
Dozens of paychecks issued to workers at the Iberville Parish
hospital on Friday bounced. State officials said they could not
allow the parish's only hospital to collapse. Meanwhile River West
is transfering all patients to other facilities--leaving only its ER
open and running.

Incurance Commissioner Wins Court Victory
Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon won in court today--at
least the suit seeking to stop the state from cutting off department
funding because he won't release some e-mails to the legislative
auditor--e-mails dealing with Citizens Insurance Corporation.
Donelon says releasing them violates the confidentiality
requirements of his office. But at the end of this month, Donelon
will be in violation of the law requiring he comply with the
legislative auditor's requests.
