Judge's Ruling Forces Hospital District Change in Teton County
District Judge DeZort orders Teton County Commissioners to grant the Petition of Withdrawal for eastern property owners from the Hospital District. The group argued they do not use the new Chateau hospital, though bond taxes remain until payoff. Removing about one third of assessed property could reduce district revenue to roughly $34,000, raising operational concerns. The county may pursue Supreme Court review.
