Local building ban is tossed. After an Indiana judge rejects a county CON ordinance, attention shifts to the state level in hospital construction battles.
In states without CON laws, some local governments have been instituting their own control over hospital construction. Now a federal judge has struck down a CON ordinance in Morgan County, Ind., clearing the way for a $40 million hospital expansion project. "This experiment of trying to do (CON) at the local level won't work," says Joseph Chappelle, left, the attorney for Morgan County.
