I saw an ad in the Glen Rose Reporter this week, it was an ad promoting the CEO of Glen Rose Medical Center.

It is quite a large ad (larger than a quarter page) costing $144 according to the Glen Rose Reporter, and he is not running for office but they felt the need during an election season to promote their people in ads....all while using YOUR TAX DOLLARS to do it. They claim we need taxes because the hospital can't run without it but we see a huge waste of tax dollars promoting its own employees. This is just an example of more poor decisions by the management...and why they need to go! So be sure to cast a ballot in this hospital district election for people that will make some serious changes!
Since they felt the need to bring up Ray Reynolds, the CEO of Glen Rose Medical Center and spent our tax dollars to do it let's take a look at Ray Reynolds a little more in depth. Like maybe why the CEO has homestead exemptions on BOTH his houses in Somervell AND Erath County according to tax records. Yes you read it right, Ray Reynolds appears to have a homestead exemption on his place at 1800 Overhill in Stephenville (Erath County) and his other place at 1183 CR 2022 in Somervell County. You don't have to believe me, you can see it with your own eyes...but you have to ask which place he lives in because that is the ONLY place he SHOULD be getting the exemption.
Somervell County Tax Records show Ray Reynolds purchased the residence in Somervell County in 2012 on May 18, 2012 (deed date)

Erath County Tax Records show Ray Reynolds purchased the residence in Erath County on Feb 21, 2006 (deed date)
http://www.isouthwestdata.com/client/webProperty.aspx?dbkey=erathcad&stype=id&&id=R000029028

(2:31pm 5/2) I just received this file from the Somervell CAD showing that this request just appeared on April 29th from Erath County so Ray Reynolds JUST filed this; and according to Erath CAD Ray Reynolds signed the paperwork on 4/23/2014. Wonder if its related to this ad he knew was coming up in the paper? Or this election? Looks like he has violated the residency requirements of his position for a few years now, what do you think the board will do about it?

Since you broght up the crazy way they spend our tax dollars , how about the golf tournament they sponsered last year or the fact they have been talking with an architect this year about remodeling? They still owe $14,000,000.00 (or more) from the last remodel.

Just got off the phone with the Somervell Central Appraisal District and they say Ray Reynolds just recently filed the homestead in Somervell County this year and the Erath one is supposed to be transferred but the records do not reflect that. They are contacting Erath Appraisal District to validate this is in the works on their side so that only one homestead exemption is claimed and their tax records on the web site get updated.

Actually the tax rate per $100 is cheaper in Somervell compared to Erath for his houses.
Erath - ~~$2.1945
Somervell - ~~$1.51859
Which indicates to me that he just now is moving here so if he has claimed to have lived here before this year then the legal records he has filed say otherwise. Those records say he is just moving here this year.

I actually had forgotten about this but your comment reminds me, Ray Reynolds told me in email recently
The District Board has asked me to pursue ways we can improve the philanthropic activities of the hospital including working with the Marks Foundation to reorganize it to better meet the needs of the hospital and the community. I have a meeting next week to begin working on that issue.
Which proves his focus is not on hospital administration but other things like the Stephenville board and the Marks Foundation. Another example of poor leadership and direction by the board and the CEO.
