County ambulance privatization debate draws crowd in Jeff. Co
Jefferson County commissioners said rumors over privatizing the ambulance service are blown out of proportion as about 300 residents attended a meeting. They noted current costs around 412000 dollars annually while AMR offered roughly 175000 dollars, but transport rates could rise for individuals. No decision has been made and recalls or private talks were denied.
