COMMUNITY ACTION SUCCESSFUL

At the County Council meeting held on Tuesday June 30, 2009, the Council voted on legislation related to regulations for administering an ambulance transport fee. The legislation was defeated by a vote of 3 for, 5 against and 1 abstained. This vote effectively kills the proposal by the County Executive to impose this fee. Proponents of the fee have stated they will continue to push for the fee and opponents need to be vigilant.

Please contact your County Council members and thank them for defeating this proposal. Those voting to defeat the legislation were: Mr. Andrews, Mr. Berliner Ms. Ervin, Ms. Trachtenberg and Ms. Navarro. Those voting in favor were Mr. Knapp, Mr. Leventhal and Mr. Elrich. Ms. Floreen abstained.

The July 2009 MCVFRA monthly meeting will be hosted by the Conduit Road Fire Board / Glen Echo Fire Department on Thursday July 16, 2009. The meeting will be held at the B-CC Rescue Squad Anastasi Room.
