For residents of the Greater Tehachapi area, there's just one item on the Nov. 3 ballot: The $50 million Measure "A" that will fund construction of the new Tehachapi Hospital.

The total cost of building the hospital will be $67 million.

The Tehachapi Valley Healthcare District already has more than $17 million in the construction kitty -- $16.5 million from a previous bond ($15 plus interest) and the remainder from fundraising efforts, much of it by the Hospital Guild and its thrift shop on Green St.

The project is ready to go, with plans in the hands of the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD)  for preliminary review.

By law, no construction contracts can be awarded without the funds in the bank.

The "bond" is the best way to pay for the new Hospital. It is critical for the Greater Tehachapi area and for all of us residents. If you have a better way, let the TVHD know post haste... Meanwhile, CHEERS!

Find a different way to pay for it. Let the people who are going to profit from it pay for it.

Vote "YES" on measure "A". If you do not think we need a new Hospital please obtain the information you need to make an educated decision. The *new* Tehachapi Hospital is a critical project and should be of the utmost importance to our community. Let's get it built!

Vote "NO"....We can't just give money away blindly. Look at the previous bonds...What a mess...We're still paying & getting nothing in return. Stop filling your pockets with our money! Property taxes are high already. Wait until some of the other bonds expire & try again. I am on a fixed income & struggling as it is. Stop these con artists....Vote NO, NO, No, No, No, No!!!!!!!!
