Lubbock City Councilman Victor Hernandez wants to explore further the possibility that the City and County can work together for a Health Department. However, last Thursday County Judge Tom Head said there was no chance it would work. Yesterday, Hernandez announced he would continue to push the issue. According to KFYO News:

Councilman Hernandez has put a resolution on to the agenda for next week’s council meeting.  If approved, it would allow representatives of the City of Lubbock Health Department to initiate discussions with representative from Lubbock County, UMC and Covenant for a joint city-county health department or to collaborate on an effort to –quote- ensure the continued existence of the City of Lubbock Health Department.

What do you think about this? Do you think the City and County will eventually have a joint Health Department? Let us know in today's LFN Poll of the Day.
