Restraining Order Sought in Gregg County/Good Shepherd Lease Extension

LONGVIEW – A temporary restraining order is being sought to keep Gregg County from extending its lease with Good Shepherd Medical Center. The injunction was filed on behalf of Diagnostic Clinic of Longview and one of its physicians, Dr. Andrei Gasic. The Longview News-Journal reports that the plaintiffs claim the county’s lease with Good Shepherd Medical Center to occupy county owned property is void — and ask that a proposed extension Good Shepherd is requesting be voided unless certain steps to allow more public input are taken.
