TUSCOLA COUNTY Since Tuscola County Commissioners started meeting virtually because of the pandemic, audience attendance has greatly increased.
Among those who monitored meetings is Unionville village Trustee Dave VanHove, who had concerns commissioners were taking the pandemic lightly and with their discussions on changing funding to the health department.
The pandemic became real to many in this community of about 470 last week when a former village president and civic pillar of the community each died from the virus.
“Until then, it hadn’t impacted our area for a long time, and because we are small and rural, we didn’t think it would,” VanHove said. “There are hardships for all and the government is trying to step in and help.”
