The facilities are hot. We made the decision to evacuate the patients from the facility. Eight people dead, three at the nursing home, five later at the hospital. The precise cause yet to be determined. Several suffering from dee hydration and heat exhaustion. They had fans but no air conditioning. We believe it may be related to the losses of power and the storm, but we are conducting a criminal investigation not ruling anything out. The temperature was 90 but it felt 102degrees.

Unfortunately, it has been plagued by management problems that have hampered its ability to operate the courts. During the past administration, the department of justice found that the office engaged in nepotism and other inappropriate practices. These disturbing findings served as a distraction, making it impossible to focus on muchneeded improvements. A 2014 server crash paralyzed the courts nationwide.
