Episode Details

With a looming $1.6 million shortfall, county leaders are scrambling, weighing drastic options like a fire fee, levy, or sales tax hike, while rejecting the $30M+ price tag for a new county-run service. No final decision yet, but without a breakthrough, keeping emergency care alive could become a financial nightmare.
