Health director placed on 60 day probation in Illinois county
Jackson County Health Director Siegfried Wolff is put on 60 days probation and sharply reprimanded by the county health board over allegedly duplicating state inspections. Wolff says the issue stemmed from a misunderstanding and that inspections were not intended to raise department funds. The board ordered prior approval for communications for 60 days and weighs actions as Wolff holds back inspections amid conflicting state guidance.
