Io-i
o
I have had it reported to me that I should not be concerned wi th environmental
health. The proposal is that the millagE; collected would take care of these items.
fi'e, in the Ci ty of Auburn, pay the millage like e~eryone else. r-le_should be enti tled to
services equalling 'the amount that is paid, as should everyone. No one is against
imrnunizatio:l programs for comminicable diseases." No one is against the insractio!7. of
certain employees and foods. It is the many otl1er items that brings up the question
of costs and who should pay and the amount that should be paid.
There are many items listed among the personal heal th costs of which we also have
questions about. This group includes such prograœs ås alcoholism vlhich is no:;., fW1ded
through a state mandated program. There is a great question in my mind about duplication
of other services and of who the services are given to. First, we have a State ¡'lelfare
Program which together with the Federal programs furnish IrOnies to people in need.
Almost all of these services are provided to apparently only thos,e on welfare éù'"1d since
they are being given checks each month, I believe this' to be a duplication. Some of
these services are being furnished to all peoples, as I understand it, regardless of
the fact that they may be able to afford it. This is entirely improper as it urges
people to accept the h,elp of others when they can afford to help themselves.
I
I approve of the decisions made that a King COUIlty Heal th Department should be the
