RMH administrator Elaine Needham told Franklin County commissioners the $500000 community development block grant was used to pay delinquent bills and that $5000 paid to Needham herself. She noted state and hospital agreements allowed debt repayment to avoid the hospital’s closure, a use atypical for such grants which usually fund jobs or salaries.
