Galveston County Daily News, July 17, 2009
This article focuses on a Texas City resident who is voicing opposition to the creation of a hospital district in Galveston County. He criticizes Galveston County Commissioners for even considering putting the issue to a vote and said that commissioners' proposal to not include the northern portion of the county in the district amounts to gerrymandering. From the article: "Commissioners seem resolved to put a hospital district to a vote, in part because about $150 million of the state funding to help rebuild the University of Texas Medical Branch depends on the county coming up with more funding to cover the cost of treating uninsured county residents."
