Questions surrounding the Michigan Employee Retirement System and its effect on certain employees at Ontonagon Memorial Hospital and the Village of Ontonagon were discussed at Monday's village council session. Bob Murphy, of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and hospital employee Lynn Owens discussed the plight of 10 OMH employees with the council.

The 10 employees are all nearing 15 years of employment at the hospital, but could be short of the milestone by just months on Nov. 1, the date Aspirus is scheduled to assume ownership of OMH.
