          If we are being taxed to pay for a non-profit, and paying everytime we use its services, why are we needing to pay for a remodel?  As far as I hear, 'they say' the tax already covers it and no additional taxes are required.  Gee, where have I heard that before.... Every year, and throughout the year they brag about their stellar facilities and services.  State-of-the-art this and that.  Now all of a sudden we will all die if we don't vote yes on more debt!  
        If PeaceHealth wants to upgrade its services and needs to remodel its facilities to do so, then make them pay.  Why should we have to pay three times for services we use.  Do we really need ANOTHER bond?  One more link added to the chains of debt for this community.  
        If the money from the tax starts going towards the bond, where will they get the money for whatever the tax pays now?  
        Just vote NO!
