Milwaukee County will continue to run Family Care program
Last week, the Milwaukee County Board decided to keep the county at the helm of the financially troubled Family Care program for the elderly. In an 18-1 vote, the board decided to submit a bid to the state that, if accepted, will allow the county’s Department on Aging ot retain sole control of the program.

In doing so, a plan was rejected that would have the county and a private agency oversee the program. The reason? Supervisors say that the enrollment and management problems that put the program into millions of dollars in the red last year appear to be coming under control. http://www.jsonline.com/news/metro/jul04/247398.asp
