Oh, ok; I see now. The private ambulance service vehicles came to a screeching halt for the past umpteen years as they approached the city limits of Sterling.

Bigger isn't better. Proposing more new taxes (I know, just a mere 50 cents per 100 dollars) and still paying for the service if & when it's needed (as it should be) but administered under the burgeoning umbrella of city and county government is eerily similar to the Federal government assuming a monopoly on health care. I really doubt there will be one iota of difference in emergency medical services and after the first year there will be the classic eruption of needs and wants by the "Authority" and further increases in taxes, costs to the taxpaying public and typical government bloating.

I would encourage a 'NO' vote on this wildly expensive method of addressing the issue.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Sagittarius

A loved one gets hold of the wrong end of the stick today, causing endless hassle and fuss. They're likely to get upset in the process, so you have to calm them down, and that could lead to a squabble. You may also have to cope with discord when discussing family matters, with certain people getting bogged down in daft details that you think have nothing to do with the main issue.
