County loses another round in tax case

URBANA – A Champaign County judge this morning urged county officials to give "serious thought" to complying with a Sangamon County court order that restored Provena Covenant Medical Center's property tax exemption and refunding millions of dollars in tax payments the hospital was forced to make.

Meanwhile, the hospital's lawsuit against five county officials will continue. Judge Michael Jones declined a motion on the part of the county to toss out the lawsuit the hospital filed to force the county to refund its taxes.
