This type of action worked real well in stopping the use of drugs such as LSD, Cocaine Crack. However, I'm sure this will make Sen Schumer look good.

Gov't sould only supply such a service when a need occurs and no one in the private sector can or is willing to provide it. The States own agency determined this is not the case. It's been argued that this ambulance service makes money for the city. I contend that it's not Gov't function to make a profit. is Kunkle providing inadequate service? If not , why is utica in this business? Get out Utica, let the private sector work ! disolve this ambulance service if the extra money is needed look to cut unnecessary services. if Gov't run services( like this ) are allowed to exist, then when do we stop letting the Gov't usurp business in the private sector?

There's a reason for all the vacant buildings, It's because nobody wants to be in this city because of policies like this. The city Gov't just keeps in creasing the financial burdens rather than getting at the root cause. Find incentives for business and therfore people, to retun to Utica! Quit treating the symtoms and cure the real disease. LACK OF INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS.
