Taxpayers will have at least another month to hear more about a plan to hire a consulting firm for the new $24 million county nursing home. The county board met in a three-hour study session Wednesday with mostly Democrats, most of whom are skeptical about the idea, in attendance, as well as AFSCME officials opposed to the plan.
....... AFSCME Local 900 leader Kent Beauchamp said the proposals constitute "radical change" at a time when nursing home operations are improving.
