The Gogebic County Board of Commissioners adopted the 2021-22 general fund budget on Wednesday, but not before citizens spoke out in protest of cutting the County 4-H Coordinator from full time to half time. The 4-H advocates wanted to know why the 4-H budget was cut at a higher amount than other departments. Others spoke of the importance of maintaining a stable 4-H program with an individual such as current coordinator Ashley Dennis, who dedicates time and effort outside of her official role with related community events that enhance the 4-H mission. Board vice president James Byrns, said he regretted the cut but said perhaps down the line the full time position could be reinstated.
