Elected officials may seek more control over Washoe Health District

Elected officials in Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County are meeting to consider asserting more control over of the Washoe County District Board of Health-which controls the Health District that’s been managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Sparks Mayor Ed Lawson tells News 4 it’s not a power grab-but rather is in the interest of setting up an appeals process so people and businesses can appeal health district decisions.
