Leon County officials are responding to concerns from the city of Tallahassee over the proposed sales-tax increase to give health care for the uninsured.
In a letter sent Tuesday from the city to the county, City Manager Anita Favors Thompson asked a swarm of questions about the plan, from who will administer the plan to how it might affect businesses. County staff members sent their reply Wednesday.
"I am hoping that this will at least give some comfort level to the city that we have done the due diligence, that we have done our homework, that there is a plan and that (it's) a reasonable plan," County Administrator Parwez Alam said.
Michelle Bono, assistant to the city manager, said Wednesday afternoon that the city commissioners had no chance to review the county's response yet.
