Solid News and Tribune story places spotlight on the Health Department's chronic disingenuousness.

Chalk up another local media hit, as Jerod Clapp does a great job with difficult material.

If there is a soul alive who believes the department's staged photo was some sort of coincidence,. indly refer him to me.

I have an ORBP to sell to him.

Battle brewing in New Albany over website photo; Health department subject of tort claim notice from brewery owner, by Jerod Clapp (News and Tribune)

... Rick Fox, the attorney for the department’s board of directors, said he just received the tort claim on Tuesday and hasn’t met with the department’s board to discuss it yet.

But he said to make sure there weren’t any misconceptions about the photo and the associated post on E. coli, they decided to take it down.

“They removed the photo, not in that the health department had done anything wrong, but we most certainly don’t want to give the wrong idea,” Fox said. “If they think someone’s getting the wrong idea, we don’t want to do that. As I understand it, the Floyd County Health Department truck was just showing that they were doing their normal inspections. Those [inspections] are subject to public review, the truck could have been in front of any business.”

Tom Harris, Floyd County health officer, did not return phone calls for this story as of press time.
