Fate of hospital hinges on income plan and tax options
In a tense meeting the board weighed how to keep the hospital operating during a revenue gap. Rice warned lenders require a solid plan and noted tax anticipation warrants would yield only 430000, while a tax referendum could not appear until November for 2004 taxes. Vaughn moved to close the hospital May 21 but the motion failed for lack of a second. The session ended amid crowd catcalls.
