County Contracts Out Child Mental Health Services
The union representing workers at Koochiching County are not happy with the board of commissioners.
The board agreed to contract out some child mental health services to Northland Counseling Centre of International Falls.
Three county jobs will be lost.
Joe Pershern of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees says there's no need for the change.
But Director of Community Services Terry Murray says the move will result in improved access to services for children.
