Lawmakers in Madison continue to say Governor Evers is to blame for the lack of hospital money in the Chippewa Valley.
State Representative Mark Born yesterday said Governor Evers decided to change the specifics of the proposal that would have sent 15 million-dollars to the other hospitals in Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. The legislature agreed on that money after HSHS closed Sacred Heart and St. Joe’s back in March. Born says the governor decided to expand the plan, and send the money to other hospitals across western Wisconsin, and allow it to be used for whatever those hospitals wanted. Born says the governor has his chance, but chose to play games instead.
