See Ron - your words WILL come back to haunt you in your next attempt to bull$hit the electorate.  Everything is being noted, not just by the vocal ones here, but by future opponents, parties and hacks.

The more you keep opening your overstuffed mouth, the more fodder you provide.

Bravo - you've completed "How to guarantee a lost election" - 101.

I can't wait for your final exam to see the overwhelming losses at the polling booth.

LOL - crispy, toasted marshmallows.  Yum.

Quoted from CICERO

I report - the viewer decides.




You don't like for profit Ambulance services.  It's your own words.  I'm not making this up.  They stand alone.

There is a HUGE difference between supporting a tax district to provide for a PUBLIC SERVICE such as
Emergency Medical Services  .. and what you are implying ....  again

if you can't figure out the difference is it because you CAN'T understand or because you WON'T understand?

As I have stated a number of times, I have NO current plans to run for public office --
so you may think that your threats bother me .. but they do not.

It's a good thing Ronny ... ::wink::

Quoted from 713

Interesting rumor.  Are there any names associated?  I haven't heard of any from either major party who are on record as being against the
creation of the tax district.  The only ones who I heard speak against creating a tax district were the NNTP candidates in 2009.  McGarry
apparently continues to oppose the tax district based on his Letters to the Editor.  Where are Mertz and O'Connor today?

         All three are private citizens like I assume you are, and they may or may not wish to share their opinion on this topic.

I was in in Rotterdam today and saw the mix of signage on the lawns.
Does Joe Citizen understand the Mohawk Ambulance Service business model. Hard billing versus soft billing.
When MAS transports a tax payer that doesn't have health insurance, that tax payer will receive a bill for this service. When they don't have the ...ability to pay it, or have failed to make a payment arrangement, that person will be taken to collections.
A dime per every $1,000.00 assessed. What's the average home assessment in Rotterdam, $150,00.00? The bill per year would be $15.00.
For my service located in Columbia County, uninsured patients are billed 638.50 for a Basic Life Support call and 7.50 per loaded mile. We have different rates for Medicare patients that are determined by CMS, but if you are not Medicare eligible, you will not be charged that rate. And of course, different rates for when the Paramedic is treating the patient.
Common Sense.
Good luck!

ATTORNEY GENERAL CUOMO STOPS COLUMBIA COUNTY AMBULANCE COMPANY FROM ILLEGALLY BILLING CUSTOMERS

thanks for the advice, but we are transitioning from this type of service, I Hope!

Gotcha.  Your description of these individuals as "politicos" made me think that they hold public office.
I respect your position if they are simply private citizens.

Hey dumba$$, pretty much anything can be considered "pubic service" if the public wants it.  This taxing district is providing a pubic service by subsidizing a failing private company in which a SUCCESSFUL private for profit company already provides without excess taxation.

So what if you don't like FOR PROFIT companies, don't be ashamed.  They do represent the evil swine bourgeoisie.

This was emailed to us for posting:

Not mentioned on that flyer:

Return of a building to the tax rolls that was previously exempt and an offer of hiring all current REMS employees.



Thanks for posting that - I'm making copies and giving it out to everyone I know and talk to.  

That flier is packed with lies and distortions ... which is pretty much what you expect from the

I for one am NOT Anti-REMS. I am ANTI-SHOVE ANOTHER TAX UP MY @SS
and if I never use the ambulance and you use it 100 times before you croak,
that means I have paid FOR YOU a NON-TAXPAYER to schlep your fat Mcrib
a$$ to the hospital.

lol @ marymagdelene1234

When DV is confronted with facts that he can't dispute he goes off on a rant full of BS. Show us where the lies in that flier are or shut up.
