County Board fights to kill hospital referendum bill
Cook County Board members press to block House Bill 1176 that would require a countywide referendum before building a new County Hospital. Opponents argue it undermines home rule and punishes the poor while supporters cite cost savings and kept indigent care. The board urges lawmakers to reject the measure as Stroger leads a bipartisan lobbying effort. A plan to hire architects and managers for a 464 bed, 640 million facility and financing options are discussed. Beaubien Preserve Eggers Grove and Powderhorn Lake boosts ecological restoration with a 100000 federal grant sought with Chicago.
