I would have gotten more fired up about the $3.64 EMSA tax, approved last night by the Tulsa City Council, approved last night were it not optional. Isn’t it ironic that not more than 5 months after Tulsa renewed its contract with EMSA they now need $3.64 a month? And not only that, but if you will remember the Tulsa Fire Department wanted to pick up that contract. TPD said that they could save Tulsa $11 million a year. Was this planed all along? The whole thing smells to me.
The irony continues because as I was standing outside at work, looking at the Tulsa World Headline and talking about this with a co-worker, someone else at work needed emergency medical service. Who got there first? That’s right the TFD. I could not resist the above shot of the fire truck pulling up with the Tulsa World Headline in the foreground.
As for the $3.64 tax, I plan to opt out of the service. I live no more than 1 mile from the fire department. If I need help I’m sure they will get there first anyway.
