The Latino community in Franklin County is worried it could soon be without a voice at the doctor's office. Veronica Guerrero has been the Spanish interpreter at the Franklin County Public Health Department in Hampton for the last 22 years. Helping Iowa's fourth-largest Latino population per capita access the services at the health department. So what happened to the state money that paid part of Guerrero's salary? According to the minutes from a Board of Supervisors meeting, the supervisors "do not feel that it is in the best interest of the county's budget... nor do they feel it is the responsibility of the county to fund a full-time translator.""I feel that we're losing the only person who is bilingual who helps the community and their public health and if not having her, what are we going to do?" Guerrero's sister, Berenice Gonzalez, said."We're losing the only person who interprets or helps you understand medical terms," said Mary Rodriguez, who has lived in Franklin County for 17 years. She says Guerrero has been an invaluable asset to many who don't speak English — and is now trying to prove that to the county supervisors.Not only to save her job, but the role Guerrero plays in the community. "What else can we do, to make them understand it's something big for us, and it's something big for the county because it's growing," Rodriguez said.KCCI spoke with two of the county supervisors on the phone — one wasn't available for an interview — the other declined to comment on the situation.Also from Beau Bowman: 'Reactive' test result keeps Des Moines woman from donating or receiving plasma and blood
