Thanks for the info.

I tend to agree with you, that the state should probably oversee autopsies statewide. (Certainly makes more sense than Ada County doing it!)

But on the other hand, to me it makes sense to decentralize – a Pocatello morgue seems reasonable, and one up north in Coeur d’Alene or Moscow, maybe. (A collaborative effort between the “pros” and medically-oriented college students might be of benefit to everybody.)

Where do the other 11 counties get autopsies done? What are their costs? How much could Ada cut their budget if it were a State function?

EDITOR NOTE– Caeth,
–costs do not include the cost of repaying the bonds through “rental payments” on the building.
–Northern counties use Drs. in Spokane and N. Idaho.
–If state took over the autopsies it would save many hundreds of thousands.
