Already on record as not supporting the city locking itself into more years of supporting Custer Clinic and Custer Regional Hospital with city sales tax money, Mayor Harold Stickney reiterated that stance at a special meeting of the city council July 26, issuing a letter that gave a history of the city’s involvement with the hospital subsidy and outling a number of projects for which the city needs funding.
Stickney has said he is not anti-hospital, but rather, against the city using so much of its money to help prop up hospital operations in the town, especially when there are so many projects he feels the sales tax money needs to be used on within the city.
