Now maybe some of you know more about finances than
they do, but I did not as a director, and we felt that this
was one of the top firms that does more feasibility studies
for hospitals in the nation than any we could find.
They have very thoroughly looked over the financial
picture of the past and the projection for the future for
Iredell Memorial. They have assured to my satisfaction
that we can handle this issue.
Then when we got to thinking about whether we should
go to the public for general obligation bonds, which are
the least expensive way to finance a building and
expansion program, we had to know a little more about how
the people of the county would feel about it.
I do not know how to take a scientific poll. I know how
to go running around asking people questions and getting
answers, but I do not know how to make a scientific poll,
and so we turned to one of the top in this field, the Eply
Associates. This is their business, to take polls, and
to do it in a manner that we can feel that it is credible.
They told us that we could head into the bond issue
and expect the people of the county to support the issue.
Now if all these experts who have guided the directors
and the trustees at Iredell Memorial at our trustees_____
recently, we got an overwhelming vote of the majority to go on.
