Linn County clinic to present two budget plans
Linn Psychiatric Clinic will submit two budget proposals to the Linn County Board of Supervisors next month. One would rise about 7 percent to 93 000, the other 22 percent to 962 103 to cover moving to a larger facility and four new staff. Some board members doubt the need to relocate. The group weighs whether the county wants a bigger clinic space and whether the move is justified. The proposed site is the former JCPenney plant shop corner of Second Avenue and Fifth Street SE, owned by Harold Becker. James Rosenquist is 44 today.
