Directors Move to Clear Legal Hurdles for Veterans Memorial Hospital
Meigs County hospital directors met at the courthouse and approved hiring attorney Bernard Fultz to draft papers transferring about 200000 dollars from tax funds to a county hospital fund. Representative George A. Meinhart will push the plan in the Ohio General Assembly, with Attorney General opinion sought for quicker approval. If funds are transferred a new board would be appointed to continue construction, while a taxpayer suit or delays remain possible. Ed Thomas dissented, arguing the General Assembly route may be too slow.
