The city council recently acted to reform the inhumane treatment occurring in the City Animal Shelter and rightly responded to citizens legitimate concerns.
Care and treatment of Human Beings who are in need of Medical Emergency Assistance warrant equal consideration by Mayor and City Council.
It is not enough to pass off the responsibility of monitoring the level of service provided by our Ambulance Company to the State, while at the same time the Mayor and City Manager are seeking POLITICAL COVER for (NOT KNOWING?) the needs and dire-straights Dixie Ambulance found itself in. If the truth be known… this could also be attributed to years of neglect by the ineffective monitoring of level of care and service most recently identified in the City Animal Shelter investigation.
It is NOT enough for the Mayor and some council members to NOW endorse the past owner of Dixie Ambulance as candidate for city council. While I too appreciate the abilities and willingness of this candidate to serve… IT IS NOT ENOUGH to make right past neglect. I am thankful for the service Dixie Ambulance provided to my mother during a period of time in which they both were struggling to survive.
Therefore I wish to publicly state… When elected I will move to immediately adopt procedures to monitor and evaluate present and future Medical Emergency Ambulance Service and to work in concert with the State Agency that has the responsibility to oversee ambulance service in our city. -Ed
Great comment Ed, thank you for watching over the Council meetings.
ReplyDeleteYou really understand about the issue of the current council trying to make right past neglect. Too little, too late is their whole problem. Thank you for seeing that.
