Election timing debated over hospital bonds and Supreme Court ruling
The 13 recommendation asks the attorney general for a decision on whether the election can be called within 90 days but held next year. Officials differ, some urging upholding the election due to a Supreme Court ruling that loans cannot be floated against tax funds used for hospital purchase construction lease or operation. Sturges predicts a five or six to one vote, claiming the hospital can be built despite the ruling. A bonding firm offered a loan against the taxes, deemed impossible by state officials. Logue favors an early election if petitioners press, though he sees it as better delayed pending further court action on fund use.
