HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93008_01604147 Now as a director, I felt that I had no course to choose from but from what they and as we feel the people of the county want_ us to move. Tonight all we are asking our commissioners is that we let all the people of Iredell County who want to vote on this issue. And I don't think it should be up to any one of us in this room or the commissioners as a body to make the decision as to whether we go on with these programs or not. I think we have a charge to the public to give them the facts between now and the election day and to let that group of citizens whom we are representing make the final decision. And I'm willing to let it rest there, and so we are asking the commissioners tonight to give the people of this county an opportunity to vote as to what they want done with their hospitals that they own, that you and I and all the citizenry of Iredell County own. When I was a child I believed in Santa Claus, but as I grew up I found that there were no Santa Clauses; there are no free nieals. And I don't care how the hospitals are built, if we want a hospital in this county, somebody's going to have to pay from them. It is my belief that the citizens of Iredell County can support and maintain and pay for the health care that they deserve and that they want. fiOtlK 25 PAGE�v
