I want to talk about a number of things that are goofy about THIS go-round about trying to get Somervell County citizens suckered into voting for a large amount of taxes by passing a hospital district. In case you forgot, the LAST time GRMC tried to pass this it was defeated by a 2-1 margin. A lot of the same elements are here this time, including trying to frighten people about their jobs or losing the hospital and other claptrap. The difference this time is that there is going to be a money PAC to pour out PR to get people to agree to pay higher taxes, so as Commissioner James Barnard points out, we are paying for an election that a PAC pushed.
