A group of taxpayers filed the lawsuit in 2017. They say the money is not being spent on health care for low-income residents.
A hearing is scheduled Thursday in a lawsuit that alleges Travis County’s taxing hospital district Central Health has improperly funded money to Dell Medical School since 2014.At issue is a $35 million annual payment from Central Health to Dell Medical School at UT Austin, which was enabled by a ballot proposition approved by voters in 2012.
“ argument has to be that having a medical school is indispensable to serving poor people, and that's a pretty weak argument because there are a lot of hospital districts in Texas that serve poor people and do not have medical schools,” Lewis told KUT News.
