Aiken EMTs challenge cutback on full-time jobs
Thirty EMTs in Aiken County file a six page report opposing County Administrator Bill Shepherds plan to convert six full-time EMT positions to part time. The report argues the move would worsen service and raise taxpayer costs and is being sent to the Emergency Medical Services Subcommittee for review at 530 p.m. The group cites overwork staffing shortages and high call volumes as factors in dangerous conditions and questions how the administrator found time to prepare the six page report.
