The Clark County Commission will continue to subsidize University Medical Center and won't consider any tax to pay for it. Yesterday, commissioners voted down a proposal by Steve Sisolak that would have asked voters for a tax increase on the November ballot. Sisolak says the tax would help create sustainable funding for the cash-strapped public hospital. The county instead will subsidize UMC with $71 million in the coming year.
