There is another attempt by Republicans to dismantle our 4-county Health Department for Northwest Michigan. You may remember back in November the Republicans tried to fire the Health Dept (HD) officers, Lisa Peacock and Dr. Meyerson.  Now that that has failed,  Antrim County and Otsego County want to leave the HDNW to create their own Health Departments.  As a result, Emmet County is weighing their options.
