Taylor: Calling state’s ‘bluff’ on UTMB not wise

Galveston County Daily News, Sept. 1, 2009

State Rep. Larry Taylor says a tax rate increase to fund indigent care in Galveston County should be viewed as one vital step toward UTMB’s recovery from Hurricane Ike. “We have a lot of good arguments,” he said. “All the options should be on the table; having other counties who use UTMB pick up more of the tab is one,” he said. County commissioners are expected to vote on the increase Wednesday.
