After a lot of effort, a lot of work and plenty of campaigning, the Banner Page Hospital’s Proposition 431 won easily on Tuesday when the votes were counted.

Coconino County Recorder, Patty Hansen, had told us early in the day Wednesday that all the votes had been counted, except for those turned-in on Tuesday at either Page City Hall or at the Lechee Chapter House.

According to the Recorder’s office, as of Tuesday night, Prop 431 was leading 87% – 13%. There was no way Wednesday’s count of the ballots turned-in Tuesday were going to make a difference.

YES votes: 1,178

NO votes: 183   

On Thursday we will have comments from Page Hospital CEO Susan Eubanks on this victory. The YES vote will keep the facility sound, modern and viable into the future.
