County OKs Bonds To Finance Hospital Expansion
The Clark County Commission unanimously approves sale of 124 million dollars in bonds to fund Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital expansion and opens bidding. Legal challenges loom as North Las Vegas city attorney threatens suit to block the sale, citing emergency powers used by the legislature. An emergency designation could allow general obligation bonds backed by hospital profits. In other action the commission extends by six days the term of the airport advertising concession and waits for new bidding specs for a fresh contract at McCarran International Airport.
