Purcell Says AIDS Spending Too High
According to a July 24 AP story in The Ann Arbor News, 2nd District Congressman Carl Pursell said some AIDS research money should be redirected to diseases that kill more people. "We have other major killers that are killing millions more Americans than AIDS," said Pursell. "Not that I want to minimize the AIDS problem, but I think we have to keep our tax dollars in perspective"
Pursell's remarks were made at the dedication of a $3.5 million wing of Herrick Memorial Health Care Center in Tecumseh.
