Ramsey Opposes Raising Taxes to Fund Jefferson Davis Hospital
County Commissioner W V Ramsey of Precinct 2 argues against raising county valuations to fund operating Jefferson Davis Hospital. He notes the proposed five year city county hospital plan would require a $7 million increase in valuations and about $2 million more in ad valorem taxes. The discussion, at a Houston Harris County hospital committee meeting, also touched on delaying the new charity hospital opening and funding concerns. A 3-year-old girl and a teenage hitchhiker who babysat the child disappeared from a Texas Panhandle home, later found wandering. The girl's identity was uncertain, with authorities noting the teens may be connected to the case.
