Perry County health plan faces opposition over sanitation rule
The Perry County Board held a public hearing on a proposed sanitation ordinance amid opposition. The measure would give the county authority over private wells, sewage systems, solid waste, and food service inspections, aiming to replace state oversight and preserve health programs, with a potential $15,000 loss in state funds if defeated. Local supporters argue home rule and closer enforcement, while critics warn against loopholes and reduced standards.
