To the Madison County Board of Commissioners:
I would like to understand why you feel it necessary to take control of the current Board of Health. At present we have a Health Department to be proud of and willing, volunteer board members with medical backgrounds.
What makes you think you can improve on this? Have you not enough to oversee already? Your stated reasons regarding liability simply do not ring true.
Yes, this is a very local issue but it seems to me to be part and parcel of GOP overreach and GOP disdain for qualifications other than a fervent worship of their Dear Leader.
Our local Health Department is excellent, receiving high ratings. What is behind this projected power grab? Will a politicized BOH deny vaccines and refuse to treat LGBTQ patients? What might they change about Family Planning?
There are petitions to sign and folks are encouraged to make their feeling known to the commissioners. There will be a meeting on July 8 at which the public will have a chance to be heard.
An excellent article HERE.
