BEAVER, Pennsylvania — Daniel Camp never expected to be governing Beaver County as an island, and he also never expected Gov. Tom Wolf to call him a coward. But both are happening.
Last Friday, Camp, as well as the other two commissioners who govern the county, sharply criticized Wolf for deciding to keep them in the restrictive red pandemic category, while the rest of the region will move to the less restrictive yellow category at the end of the week.
Wolf says it is because of their high number of cases of the coronavirus. Camp, and the other governing officials, argue those cases have almost all been confined to one nursing home, the Brighton Rehab and Wellness Center, and that the entire county should not be punished for one concentrated facility.
