>He said Central Ambulance, Care Ambulance, and Vital Care were disqualified for various reasons, leaving Lifeguard and Angel. <

Not enough kickback to the commissioners?

>In relation to the 89 Hutcheson employees who will be losing their jobs Dec. 31, he said, "We can now start taking applications." <

If the laid off empolyees are lucky, they can get rehired by Angel and the uniforms will be the same!

>Lifeguard offered three ambulances for 24-hour service with one supervisor for $187,000 and Angel offered three ambulances 24 hours per day, two during peak hours and one supervisor for $150,000. <

Is that per month or per year? Plus, I wonder what rate the private service will be charging the public or county for their runs!

Not being pessimistic, I've worked for private EMS in the past and saw LOTS of politics take place!

I agree 100%. There is alot of politics going on in my county, from the Vol. firefighters to the Ambulance service provider. Some 45 Firefigters walked out about a month ago.
