North County voters again consider a proposition to improve the Tri-City Medical Center. The $596 million bond measure allocates funds for hospital improvements. Host Tom Fudge speaks with both side

Tom Fudge : Next month, residents of North County will go to the polls for a second time to vote on whether to pass a nearly $600 million hospital bond. Proposition T would raise $596 million in bonding to improve Oceanside’s Tri-City Medical Center. A nearly identical initiative failed to pass in June, though it got very close. The June measure fell short of the needed two-thirds majority by only about 400 votes. Will voters approve the measure this time?
