Public Forum: "Keeping Health and Education Viable: Mill Levy and General Obligation Bond B & C"
Monday, October 17, 2016, 06:00pm |
The event will address three important funding proposals Grant County voters will need to decide up on their Nov. 8 ballot. The discussants will include Dr. Gilda Baeza-Ortego, University Librarian, WNMU, Mr. Brian Cunningham, CEO, Gila Regional Medical Center, and Dr. Joe Shepard, President, WNMU.
The “mill levy” is a proposition that would raise Grant County property taxes for a period of years to provide funding for capital improvements to the Gila Regional Medical Center. The two General Obligation Bond issues would provide funding for public schools, libraries and related entities (Bond B), and for higher education institutions (Bond C). The forum will serve as a public conversation about how our state and community institutions should be funded.
As usual, there will be refreshments served after the forum, and the audience will have a chance to ask questions during the forum and talk with the panelists afterward.
