CLEVELAND, Ohio - A Cuyahoga County Council member and a council staffer on Monday publicly questioned why County Executive Armond Budish intended to sign 176,000 letters that the county is sending to seniors about accessing vaccines for the coronavirus.
Councilwoman Nan Baker and council staffer Trevor McAleer suggested at a Board of Control meeting that the letters should be signed by county health officials rather than Budish, noting that the independent Board of Health – not the Budish administration – is overseeing the vaccinations.
