In Southeast Washington, the City of Clarkston is starting its own ambulance service but appears to be under staffing its response. As a result, surrounding areas have been getting beat up and/or no longer interested in maintaining a “Mutual Aid” agreement with the City of Clarkston. This story sounds familiar already… I guess some people understand the need to reduce bureaucracy and improve efficiency, and yet others just see it as an opportunity to collect power.
