UPPER MICHIGAN - County commissioners from across the U.P., including from Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties, gathered yesterday to discuss current events and how they can serve their constituents more effectively.  From the Michigan DNR providing details about their latest projects to the importance of Medicaid in the U.P. Commissioners will take this sort of information to serve their counties better.  One main topic discussed was the importance of Medicaid in the U.P. due to proposed cuts to the service. According to MDHHS as of April 2025, over 40,000 U.P. residents use Medicaid.  The conference continues today.  Another Commissioners Conference scheduled for this fall.
