NASH COUNTY The Nash Health Care Systems Board of Commissioners recently passed a resolution opposing a sales tax reimbursement cap being looked at by the N.C. Senate's finance committee. At their May 7 meeting, the board voted to oppose the measure, which would limit the sales tax reimbursement N.C. nonprofit hospitals could get to a $5 million-per-year maximum. Twice a year, hospitals in the state with nonprofit status get reimbursements for sales taxes they pay on items they buy. Dawn Wilson, a spokesperson for the hospital system, said the system generally gets about $2 million per year back, but board members felt it important to oppose a restriction on that source of income for nonprofit hospitals.
