Amesbury goes for it

The Amesbury Municipal Council within the last hour accepted the shared health services agreement.

Apparently they believe that Newburyport has "excess capacity" to deliver health services to three communities. I mean, that's what one of them said.

Someone pointed out to me (privately) that not only will Newburyport be paying for the bulk of the services, but that citizens here will foot the entire bill for Health Director Jack Morris' retirement, based on his increased salary.

Pffft
