Very troubling that leadership would not respond to the obvious public health crisis this will create. The time to act is NOW!.
“With this declaration, it is impossible for DPH to say that it wouldn’t be a public health emergency if Carney were to close. We know state health officials have the power to take the facility by eminent domain as they are doing with St. Elizabeth’s right now."-Sen. Nick Collins.
