Well, no chance for a quiet, reflective end of year in Pierce County!
This is 2020 after all, and this week the County Council was presented with a surprise proposal to pull Pierce County out of our long-standing public health entity, the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. That’s right, in the middle of a surge in the COVID 19 pandemic, when everyone is being asked to stay home and stay safe, several county councilmembers would like to upend our public health system. Let the chaos begin!
So, we asked Councilmember Derek Young to come on Crossing Division to talk about what was going on, if he has figured out why this is happening, and why anyone would think this is a good idea right now.
Please listen to the conversation, and then contact your councilmember with your thoughts. You can find a link to an online contact form here: https://www.co.pierce.wa.us/3301/Council-Contact-Information
