Peoria's Ambulance Monopoly is Falling Apart

Very slowly, Peoria's corrupt ambulance system is changing.

Last week this article reported that Peoria Fire Station 12 is paramedic.

This took almost two decades to happen.

OSF has supported AMT for the same period of time. OSF's ambulance director was on AMT's salary.

A short Forum article of mine was printed yesterday in the Journal Star.

Everyone in Peoria pays taxes. What about the other 11 PFD Stations? Why are they not allowed to serve their neighborhoods with their paramedic skills and advanced life support drugs?

Re. May 2 story, "Specialized fire engine looks to save lives":

The people covered by Peoria Fire Station 12 are now in good hands. But what about the rest of Peoria?

I wonder if it will take two more decades to permit Peoria Fire Department paramedics to obtain a second "advanced life support engine" to save even more Peorians.
