Return to Story IndexKITCHEN DOOR
We're coming to you this week from Gibson's Family Restaurant. This place was shut down by Putnam County health inspectors last week when they found people here using water from a spicket at the BP station to fill water glasses and to cook and clean. As you can see, the place....It was supposed to open today, but.... We have a couple of places to tell you about this week. Cabell County health inspectors found some serious issues with the Huntington Area Food Bank. They found rat and mouse droppings in the facitlity and say the mouse traps hadn't been serviced in 3 months. There was also cheese being stored at improper temperatures. Next, we go to Applebee's at Liberty Square in Hurricane. Inspectors found 8 violations including 4 critical. Putnam County health inspectors said there were dirty dishes and utensils in the clean rack and they found dirty pansl. Inspectors also said the ice machine was dirty. That's it for this week's report. Don't forget, you can get your first look at Behind the Kitchen Door Thursday on Eyewitness News This Morning. I'm Patrick McMurtry, I'll see you then.
Return to Story IndexCOST OF REFORM
DEMOCRATS SEE IT AS VINDICATION.. REPUBLICANS SEE IT AS FUZZY MATH. PRESIDENT OBAMA "A new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office precludes that the reform we seek will bring 1.3 trillion dollars in deficit reduction over the next two decades." GREAT NEWS FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.. AS IT CONTINUES TO TRY AND SWAY ENOUGH DEMOCRATS TO VOTE FOR THE MASSIVE HEALTH REFORM PACKAGE. PRESIDENT OBAMA "That makes this legislation the most significant effort to reduce the deficit since the balance budget act of the 1990's." THE C-B-O PUTS THE PRICETAG FOR THE LATEST VERSION OF REFORM AT 940-BILLION DOLLARS FOR ITS FIRST TEN YEARS. THE NON-PARTISAN BUDGET OFFICE SAYS THE LEGISLATION WILL CUT THE DEFICIT BY ALMOST 140-BILLION IN ITS FIRST DECADE.. AND UP TO A TRILLION OVER 2 DECADES. BUT THOSE NUMBERS.. CRITICS SAY.. DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY. They're vastly understating the real cost of that. THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE CAN ONLY CRUNCH THE NUMBERS THEY'RE GIVEN. so if they're told for example don't count the 250-billion dollars it's going to cost to fix Medicare in the future, they can't count that. That has to be taken aside and put somewhere else because those are the rules they're given. AND THAT'S WHAT REPUBLICANS SAY HAPPENED WITH THIS CALCULATION. SINCE THE BEGINNING.. THEY CLAIM DEMOCRATS PLANNED TO USE ALMOST 500-BILLION DOLLARS IN MEDICARE MONEY TO FUND THE HEALTH PACKAGE.. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CALLING IT A SAVINGS.. IN ESSENCE DOUBLE COUNTING THE MONEY. AND.. THE HEALTH BILL DOESN'T INCLUDE THE SO-CALLED "DOC-FIX".. A 200-BILLION DOLLAR PACKAGE TO REIMBURSE DOCTORS WHO PROVIDE MEDICARE SERVICES. SINCE IT'S NOT IN THE BILL... THE C-B-O CAN'T INCLUDE IT IN ITS HEALTH COST ESTIMATES. It's extremely complex. They've been asked to do a lot of work in a little bit of time. AND ECONOMISTS SAY.. ANYONE READING THE C-B-O REPORT SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACT THAT IT ESTIMATED THE COST OF A BILL.. THAT ISN'T FINALIZED. IN THE LETTER TO SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI.. THE C-B-O SAID "THE AGENCY HAS NOT THOROUGHLY EXAMINED THE RECONCILIATION PROPOSAL TO VERIFY ITS CONSISTENCY WITH THE PREVIOUS DRAFT. THIS ESTIMATE IS THEREFORE PRELIMINARY..." I see a lot of hedging. i see that they're not coming out that we're pretty sure about this. It appears that this scenario could materialize but it's going to depend on a lot of things coming true before we can say yes this is going to happen.
