County Hospital Purchasing Plan Tabled by Board
The County Board spent most of last night in disputes over the Green County hospital and a highway commissioner race, tabling action on both measures until Monday, Nov. 10. The hospital issue centered on transferring purchasing power and an $8,000 chair purchase, with trustees viewed as de facto purchasing agents. The board also addressed a highway commissioner election, with votes tied and calls for salary adjustments unresolved, leading to further discussion on Nov. 10 and 12.
