" I must agree with Joe EMT on this one. ALS first response has been proven a poor addition to a system time and time again. The composition of this board is also designed to skew towards the city of La Onalaska (LA Crosse -Onalaska) Perhaps Johnsrud should study EMS for a little while and maybe he will also find where he has put his head when gets to the proctology section!

" Paramedic first responders will not have enough time to use ALS skills unless they delay transport in transport. It takes at least 2 th 3 minutes to do an assessment. Tristate is there and usually waiting for the assessment to be completed. So unless transport is delayed so the medic 1st responders can use advanced skills, the whole idea is a waste of time and taxpayers money. this is just another foot in the door tactic. "

" the joint commission is skewed toward the city so they will get anything they want. Look at the make up of the commission. only 2 members to represent the towns and villages. those two have 60% of the population and no power on the commission. There is something drastically wrong with the make up. At leas Mr. Johnsrud will not be on the board too long. Only until after the election. "

" This is a Mark Johnsrud that in a very relatively short time will be able to read 'purchased' space in the Tribune. That will list the number of itemized Board, Council, Committee, and RDA Meetings that have been held closed door in our community, and the percentage of them in total. "

" This is a leader who held a Public Meeting after one year in closed door 'negotiations'? A Meeting where the pro leaders were allowed to give long professional PowerPoint programs paid for by taxpayers. While the anti forces were given two minutes. This is somebody that is against 'information infusion'. This is a person who has stated, "How can you educate 10k people in the City of Lacrosse what the right decision is. I am not sure they are going to make an educated decision based on all the facts". This is commonly referred to as, 'back-peddling', or attempting to save what you have left. By looking toward a controlled Commission rather than 'your' votes on the Council. "

" "Johnsrud-What we have learned is we need to take this one step at a time? This is a guy instrumental in telling a sign owner to mediate with a City favored developer or we will condemn your sign? This is a Mayor who pushed a twenty plus million dollar building with a $15.9 million dollar 27 year TIF past us sold for dollar in 2 days. This is a man who told us that this same building was a 'meeting room' next to 700 LHI employees and in a few mere months neither came 'close' to fruition. This is a man who sits mute while we are involved in a 2 plus year audit of Pettibone Campground that is going to cost us $35k, at least. "

" Doyle just fought tooth and nail to retain the power to appoint County Committee Chairman. Instead of allowing those Committees to vote on thier choice themselves. This is an end around, and these people are shameless. Yes, I said 'shameless'. It just moves them a step closer. A step closer that we do not have to even start a journey toward. This is a sham. Add it to the list. "

" Come on Harnden drop your sides last 'FEAR' card, the expected and shameless 'response time' card. After all it really is all you have. Improve the system? Get out of the way!!!! You guys cannot even approve a buidling before it is completed. Then you vote retroactively like nobody noticed. The problem is too many didn't. "

" Here it is Harnden! 'We can "live with" the status quo', Tri-State. You talk about one step at a time. You assume with your comments that we have passed a step or two already? Can't you hear? The Tribune, our 6 station News media source, and almost the entire audience that literally laughed at your pro leaders sent there, 'Not enough info'! This Plan and it's pro leaders are running as fast and far from professional scrutiny as possible, in the form of a qualified bean counter and available/obtainable statistics. PowerPoint programs for the pro side, and two minutes allowed for the anti side fell short. Imagine that! "
