County denies hospital tax election in Taos County
Taos County Commission rejected Holy Cross Hospital’s bid for a special election to approve a hospital funding levy. Hospital leaders warn of drastic cuts, potentially 50 layoffs or closing the OB/GYN unit, amid a $10 million shortfall in a $60 million operating budget due to unpaid services. No election or tax will occur this year.
