Local leaders should have rallied to keep COVA

So for the past 2 years COVA had begged for financial support to keep their free ambulance service going. After numerous requests for financial assistance, the county and all of the town governments let them fail.

Now you are under contract for $300,000 for way less service, less ambulances, and very long response times. What were you thinking?

This is the second travesty to Orleans County after selling the county nursing home. What are you people thinking? You should all be ashamed of yourself for not doing what is best for the residents that need emergency and long-time comfort care.
