Nursing home plan sent to committee

URBANA – Champaign County Board members Tuesday sent packing – to a committee – a proposal for a new advisory board for the county nursing home.

There is still support for creating a board concerned only with the nursing home, but board members voted unanimously to have the Justice and Social Services Committee give a thorough look at the proposal next month.
