Rescuing the Rescuers

By: Mr. Wilson on April 10, 2006
The Lincoln Fire Department needs help because many of its promises failed to materialize after it took over ambulance service in 2001.
The city-run ambulance service lost nearly half a million dollars last year, owes about $1.5 million to the city and has requested a $250,000 city subsidy this year. The ambulance service has been run by the Lincoln Fire Department since 2001, after voters were convinced [the fire department] could deliver the service faster, better and cheaper.
Did you hear that deafening roar just now? That was the plan's critics hollering a simultaneous "I told you so!"
