This is weird on two levels. One: yeah, their finances have been shaky and a couple friends who work there have told me that the recent affiliation with the larger network (or maybe they were completely purchased by another medical group, I didn't pay full attention) has led to an atmosphere of nickel-diming, cheaper supplies, generally they're not flush with money. So this doesn't seem to be a solid use of funds.

Second, when the county couldn't find a naming partner before the facility opened (or at least before last season), that burned a lot of the prospective brand value. Going two+ years without a corporate name left a void for a popularly-recognized name to take root, and it has: The Amp.

So good for the county for earning a few more bucks to pay their unqualified dope of a parks commissioner (who's marginally better than the city's parks commissioner in that he's not facing jail time) or do a haphazard job mowing lawns and cutting down sick ash trees. But St. Joseph's might have got the short end of the stick on this deal.
