Uncertain status of county’s emergency management agency irks council members

Huntington County Tab:

The uncertain status of the Huntington County Emergency Management Agency continues to color spending decisions by the Huntington County Council, and the lack of progress in resolving differences between the EMA advisory board and the Huntington County commissioners continues to irk council members.

"Until that mess we have - that people won't take the responsibility to resolve - we need to leave that department alone," Councilman Don Davenriner said as the council pulled back from a proposal to spend unused money in the EMA budget on an upgrade to police communication equipment.
