The State Legislators have not chosen the new voting machines as of yet.

These cards would be used with people who have no insurance, or with people that had insurance but their insurance would not cover a certain doctor or something in the hospital. It would not be total coverage, but as stated, even a little would help some. The drug card that was sent out last year should not be destroyed even if you have insurance. Some insurance companies will not cover all medicine. This card would help to cover some. Legislator Teele informed the board "No one should destroy the card that was sent to them." • He had comments on the Premier Wireless. He informed the board that Premier Wireless still has some glitches to work out. However when it was working it worked well. • The public meeting was still on for May 22 at 4:00 PM with Farnsworth.
