Barbourville hospital tax plan eyed to keep facility open
Knox County fiscal court considers creating a Hospital Tax District to fund the Barbourville hospital by shifting Ambulance, Library, and Health Department taxes into a .07 percent district. The plan aims to avoid tax increases while keeping the hospital solvent and employed staff of around 300, with a two year trial and possible future sale to a larger health system. Darryl Baker criticizes the proposal, arguing it funds a private business with public money.
