What factors should Mills consider before he decides whether to respond? Julian Mills, a local politician and longstanding member of the Sandhills community, is on the Board of Trustees for Hope Center Hospital. He maintains a blog on his political initiatives, including the construction of the hospital’s new cardiac wing. So far, he has expressed concern over the cost of the wing, delays, and decisions about equipment. Overall, though, he supports the construction and is proud to have played a role in such a state-of-the art facility. A local reporter, Sabrina Klein, also keeps a blog about area events.
