Vote on nursing home chief put on hold by Champaign County Board

URBANA – Champaign County Board members held off Thursday on taking a vote of confidence in the county nursing home's administrator, and voted not to discuss his performance in closed session.

There had been a resolution about confidence, or lack thereof, in Andrew Buffenbarger on Thursday night's agenda, but board Chairman C. Pius Weibel distributed a legal opinion questioning the propriety of such a vote just before the meeting began.
