St. Clair County commissioners have delayed a decision on an outside investigation into workplace complaints against Health Department Medical Director Dr. Remington Nevin. The Human Services Committee voted last Thursday to table the matter until October, giving corporate counsel time to review complaints and gather more details from the Michigan Nurses Association. More than 1 hour of public comment preceded the vote, with nurses and residents again demanding a third-party review. Commissioners say the issue returns to committee in October.
