Ottawa County Health Department Fully Funded


Listen Later

The Ottawa Impact Commissioners have once again moved against Jacob Bonnema. A recent removal from the Ottawa County Finance and Administration Committee vice chair position has led to much anger from Bonnema toward his former running mates. There is another year before we find out exactly what the county as a whole thinks of the new board and what they think of their local press. Our county administrator has been accused of being difficult to work with and making a mess of our county. It seems only the directors that are interested in media attention have experienced that. During the Commissioner meeting last week the administrator says that his working relationship with the finance director has been fantastic and that she has been very helpful. It seems that the Ottawa County elections are run very well. Many claims have been made that the 2020 elections were a disaster but County Residents can be assured that our election process is secure and widely used. Roger Bergman is given a puff piece in the Grand Haven tribune that we will take a look at. Finally the Ottawa County Health Department is fully funded with commissioners working with the budget to get all necessary programs funded. The question remains as to when our county will be able to see exactly what we are spending our money on but for now the health department seems to have created a scene that amounted to nothing.
