HIPAA no bar to revealing Levy's location, experts say

Federal health law experts said health privacy laws are confusing, but should not keep city officials from revealing where the resort's mayor is.

Mayor Bob Levy's last official duty came last Wednesday, when he signed seven ordinances into law. Since then he, and his black city-issued Dodge Durango, have apparently vanished.

His attorney and city officials have said since Thursday he was in an undisclosed hospital receiving unspecified treatment. In the meantime, Business Administrator Domenic Cappella has served as acting mayor.

With Levy's absence, the city has been beset by rumors of imminent resignations tied to an ongoing federal investigation into his military record. City Council members have said they believe Levy has abandoned his post and have sought state help replacing him.
