Brown County MHC gets supplemental funding A bill recently signed by Gov. Jim Doyle will provide additional state funding for the Brown County Mental Health Center, County Executive Carol Kelso announced on Monday. The legislation requires the state to provide county nursing facilities with federal dollars generated with county funds through an intergovernmental transfer program. Kelso estimated the move would bring an additional $329,000 in federal revenues. For last year, the county received $832,000, about $500,000 less than the previous year because of cuts in state funding.
