The Ambulance Contract

This was our first show on Metro Flint News/Talk Radio - listen for us every Saturday at 1pm-2pm on internet radio. But in case you miss it, we'll post it by the following Monday right here at GB Watchdogs. Lonnie and Monica discuss the Patriot Ambulance "geofencing" agreement with the township, which seems inferior in every way to what an exclusive contract with Medstar is offering the eleven Genesee County communities that have entered into it. Why are they against? They say fear of liability... which doesn't seem to concern those eleven neighbors of ours... and the real reason seems to be that presiden and vice president of Patriot Ambulance were top donors to Scott Bennetts campaign. Meanwhile, at least part of the patriot agreement was in place - the part in the City - when the incident at East Middle School occurred - a young lady was injured and her mother was told it would be 2-3 hours before an ambulance would arrive... Also discussed, the new full-time PR staff member to clean up this an other messes this board is getting itself into. The fact that this board can never be swayed. The only public comment they listen to is ego stroking. No suggestions, no exciting proposals, no problems the township might conceivably try to solve if they cared... Finally we discuss the recall, which is an aspect of the democratic process that we are lucky to have in our Michigan Constitution. If you want change, sign the petitions! This uneresponsive rubber-stamping board could be ousted two years early.
