Chairman’s Note: Rep. Susan Wismer (D-Britton) shared this article on the heartbreaking closure of a nursing home in Hosmer. I want to share her thoughts with you all: “Sad news for Hosmer community. Largest employer in town closes because they can’t make ends meet after state budget cuts. It looks like a well-kept facility. I wonder who’s next. Oh well, at least we can take comfort: the State has more money in savings accounts than at any time in its history.”
