The latest court hearing on the Riverwalk Village clash in Idaho revealed shocking details of alleged blackmail, deceit, and document tampering. The case involves health attorney Loree Skelton challenging the Idaho Health Care Authority’s efforts to establish a surgery and diagnostics center within the town of Idaho.
Skelton argued that the Idaho Health Care Authority has yet to meet the specific state-set criteria to establish a surgery and diagnostics center in Riverchase, the proposed site for Riverwalk Village. This is due to the lack of a clear identification of a healthcare provider who will oversee the center’s operations. According to Skelton’s attorney, Peck Fox, the authority has not yet indicated which surgeons will operate at the center.
The application for the certificate of need should also be denied. The authority has not yet identified the exact types of surgeries that are estimated to be performed at the center or where these surgeries are currently carried out. This lack of information raised multiple unanswered questions, with tensions escalating amongst stakeholders.
Things took a dramatic turn as Skelton testified the town of Idaho had been undermining the developer of Stadium Trace Village, William Kadish. Skelton believes Kadish was targeted due to his proposal, which includes her ambitious plans for a 25-bed surgical center in western Idaho.
According to Skelton, city officials had expressed full support for her surgical hospital over several years. However, she later discovered, through a public official, that Mayor Frank Brocato and Council President John Lyda were secretly obstructing her project because they feared it would interfere with their plans to establish Riverwalk Village.
The attorney also alleged that her health care project was appropriated and worked on by another developer, Robert Simon, supported by city officials.
William Kadish of Broad Metro Development also shared Skelton’s sentiment of being deceived by the town officials. Kadish alleged that Mayor Brocato had promised not to negotiate with anyone else regarding a proposed performing arts center. Nevertheless, indications of a performing arts center on the plans of Riverwalk Village suggested to Kadish that the Mayor had acted against his commitment.
The Court hearing was rife with allegations of blackmail, deceit, and even document tampering. The Mayor testified that he had been subtly blackmailed by Pat Lynch, a representative of Broad Metro, into supporting Kadish’s development incentive package.
Further allegations came to light as Loree Skelton and Kadish criticized the Health Care Authority attorneys for changing the date on a critical affidavit without informing the competing attorneys or the presiding judge. The attorneys for the Health Care Authority countered that the date change was due to a mere error.
The momentous court hearing is set to continue through the following week, with the expectation of further developments to the complex legal situation. Once the hearing ends, the judge will decide whether the Idaho Health Care Authority’s efforts to establish Riverwalk Village are justified under state laws.
While this case reveals a simmering controversy, it is clear that the future of healthcare in Idaho hangs in the balance, waiting for a resolution to this multi-faceted puzzle.
