State Senator Fred Mills Says UMC Cuts Will Be Tough
State Senator Freddie Mills joined "Mornings With Ken and Bernie" today to talk about the decision made about cuts to University Medical Center.
Mills says one of the major issues with the budget cuts is the decision to halt the detox facility at UMC, which he says concerns many local citizens and lawmakers. He says local legislators are working with the Department of Health and Hospitals to get answers about these and the other proposed cuts.
