After a firestorm of opposition and push back, Gov. Inslee s supported bill that would replace county health districts with regional entities has been altered. Why?
The original plan laid out by Inslee during his series of budget goal press conferences contained a plan he did not discuss in publicly:
dissolving or doing away with county health districts including county health boards.
Under his original plan, for example, the Benton Franklin County Health District and the controlling county health board made up of the six B-F Commissioners
would be gone.
Inslee wants to see the state divided into 9 regions, which is bringing out a lot of opposition even some from Democrats.
