Bowie Memorial Hospital moves ahead with tax district vote
During a called meeting of the Bowie Memorial Hospital Board at 4 p.m. June 4, trustees will consider taking the next steps to conduct a tax district election in November.
For several months, the board has debated taking another run at a tax district election, but after the massive defeat in May 2011 trustees were reluctant.
In that spring 2011 election, the proposal to create a hospital district that included Bowie School and Forestburg School Districts was defeated 1,644 to 973.
Board Chairman Tim Winn has said the creation of a taxing district is just one piece of the puzzle to help save and stabilize the hospital.
Thursday evening’s agenda centers on the tax district issue and opens with an order to create a hospital district. Read the full story in the mid-week News.

Lake Amon G. Carter has now (Thursday, Nov. 14) re-opened for boating. Selma Parkremains closed due to electric problems caused by high water. Water levels remain above normal and boaters should be cautious of possible debris.
The lake was closed on Nov. 8 after heavy rainfall and a rising lake level. It is considered full at 920 mean sea level and through the weekend it was topped more than 922 msl.
Bowie High School staff and students welcomed veterans for their annual tribute and breakfast on Veterans Day. Members of the FFA, Kyle Keeler and Rylan Cole folded the American flag as each fold was explained during the ceremony.
