The SDN reports on the 5.14-mil tax increase that the Board of Supervisors passed Monday. The majority will fund a $27 million+ renovation at county-owned OCH.
My questions–
Are we getting our taxes worth from this Board? City residents are represented by this board as well. How are our needs being met?
If the county-owned hospital is such a great business model, why is it in decline as a widespread practice? Should we be in the public hospital business? Lowndes County has dramatically upgraded their medical facilities in recent years at no cost to the taxpayer. In fact, their Board of Supes are sitting on a nice nest egg from the sale of the hospital to Baptist. Is it time for us to look at the same thing?
