(MSC News)--Brown County voters, on May 21, will decide whether or not to approve a 10-year, half-cent countywide retailers sales tax for health care services in the county.

MSC Radio News wants to hear your questions.

We will talk with Hiawatha Community Hospital CEO John Broberg, and pose your questions to him.

Submit your questions to mscnewsradio@gmail.com no later than 5 pm on Tuesday, May 7, then join us for two special editions of More Than Just a Soundbite, Wednesday, May 15 and Friday May 17.

Hear your questions answered those days at 6:15 a.m. and 1:05 p.m. on KNZA 103.9 FM.

Depending upon timing, all questions received may not be asked.

The sales tax is proposed to address what the hospital says are financial struggles it faces.

If approved by voters, 80 percent of the sales tax proceeds would go to the Hiawatha hospital and 20 percent to the City of Horton for health care services in the southern Brown County community.
