Tonight (Long Term Care) and Tomorrow Night (911).
The first from Dorothy Wheeler:
Tomorrow evening, Tuesday, June 3rd, there will be a public meeting concerning the state directive that all counties must join in the state’s goal to get all long term care under one state agency. That agency will contract with either counties or private companies to deliver long term care to participants with the same rules for everyone. Dane County has taken the first steps toward accepting the contract by getting state revenue to plan how they would comply with the requirements. However, there has been no decision yet about whether the county will actually continue with these services under the state’s new plan. If you have someone in your family on long term support, you will be very interested in this topic. If you can’t attend this meeting, there will be other public meetings which I will tell you about in a more timely manner!! I am on the Health and Human Needs Committee which has oversight for all county human services programs and would be happy to speak with you about this development.
Place of meeting: Job Center on 1819 Aberg – go in the west door and walk straight to the back of the building to a large room called the Ballroom.
Time of meeting: 5:00 pm, Tuesday, June 3rd

There, that’s my attempt to help out those that often tell me that they wish that someone from the County blogged like I did so that people knew what was going on at the county. I’ll try to pass along the items I know about. Pssst. That means someone needs to tell me about those items!
