The county will pay GiveDirectly up to $1.28 million (plus $499,000 for Burton and Clio if state matching funds land) for prenatal and infant payments in six high-priority communities over three years. Opponents said there's no income check and out-county taxpayers pay in but can't qualify; supporters cited outcome data and historical health inequities.
