Lawmakers weigh 6.2 million for 12th medevac helicopter
The Maryland House Appropriations Committee debates funding a 12th helicopter to back up maintenance cycles. Emergency medevac missions dominate, with near 3,000 traffic accident flights in 1997 and over 1,000 for criminal tracking, supporting a statewide system that aims for a 20 minute response. Critics say cuts are not an option for a life-saving service that benefits all residents and relies on license fees for operation.
