I would love to know how they don't have the money to fund personnel, but they just built the urgent care center.  There was already one in town.  They complain about people going out of the community for medical services, yet the rate of specialists come and go that when you make an appointment with one, it is entirely likely that they will have left by the time your appointment comes around.  

They can whine about Medicaid funding, but the truth is, Alex City needs to aggressively attract good paying jobs to the area.  They paid $30,000 to have some study done that said franchises would be willing to come here if they had people with the money to open them, in other words, more fast food.  (like we don't already have enough).  They are so busy hosting "downtown" events which seems to me to be putting the cart before the horse.  They need to clean up that mess they have left in the wake of Russell, and find a way to attract businesses.  

I'll get off my soapbox now, but this is something that is so plain to so many people, but seems to be a mystery to Alex City officials.
