" It's too bad you think of yourself as some sort of expert when you aren't. Furthermore, I am the one reporting the issue about the county board because you are so limited in perspective that you don't want to see beyond your limited eyesight. But that's okay...I still will do my work, you do yours and let's make sure we do the best we can. BTW, are you supporting Gary Padesky for mayor? "

" After given a Forum our side will display that these proposed changes will affect outlying areas on both sides of the river with our neighbors and bedroom communities adversely, and we will have the officials present to testify so.
Also, "Johnsrud thinks somehow the city of La Crosse would still benefit in both service and financially"? (If the County owned the service?). This assertion only displays your total inability to feel the local political heartbeat, you are a knucklehead, and way in over your head. I will not engage with you again. "

" Kami- Once again your information is incorrect, poor, and will not stand to reason. When the referendum goes through the option of the City entering the Ambulance Business will be in the hands of the people, as it should be. Also the only dual member of both bodies who does not have a large ring installed in their nose says different. You state, Johnsrud thinks somehow the city of La Crosse would still benefit in both service and financially? (a county run Ambulance service?) There is little difference in pushing for something publicly and getting out of the way and quietly lobbying. Watch for the inclusion of two Doctors being able to vote on the EMS Commission. "

" While you have been so bothered with Johnsrud and the city owned ambulance service, he has approached members of the county board who also have seats on the city council to examine a way for the county to own an ambulance service if La Crosse fails in getting hers off the ground. While the money would end up in the county treasury, Johnsrud thinks somehow the city of La Crosse would still benefit in both service and financially. Where I'm not sure of the details, but I'm investigating further. It has something to do with the number of calls/responses for the service. "

" WIZM- "Chief Gregg Cleveland supports a healthy debate.."
A healthy debate. You can bet their will be a healthy debate. Controlled by residents/taxpayers reflecting on past history on this issue. In more than one location on different night and following weeks. Where information other than Johnsrud and his minions will be given more than 2 minutes, by professionals with expertise in their field. Where control will be 'detoured' around this Councils hands, and placed back into the ears, hearts, and voices of local residents. "

" WIZM today- "Local Fire Chief Gregg Cleveland supports a healthy debate..but is not thrilled with the proposed referendum. Cleveland says the City Council can make an informed decision without going that route. Chief Cleveland used to head the Marshfield Fire Department..which was involved in a city run ambulance service. Gregg says it worked well...but he admits La Crosse might be different." COUNCIL CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION! "

" BTW Kami, you must have missed this yesterday-
Those individuals that have been involved in a movement to stop the City from entering a City run Ambulance business, is not limited to CRG or Dave Drewes. When this movement shows itself it will be a line of residents, elected officials, and dignitaries hooking arms and unified to stop this nonsense. A consortium if you will. As it should be. Operating after a show of hands, that differentiates us from them. "

" BTW, it is to be a 'Binding Referendum'. Moving past the all too often Blog noise gnashing from the same old source. There are two Doctors from each hospital appointed to the proposed EMS Commission. They have not been given votes. Instead we have given votes to 10 other appointed members, with questionable reasons of, Why? The City is once again counting votes. We hear, "The City has backed off 'The Plan'." Although we hear the Chief 'stumping' once again just this AM on WIZM for a City Ambulance entry. Signatures will be collected, followed by Informational Meetings throughout our City. Then the people will vote on this issue, instead of the normal line-up of votes in Johnsrud's pocket. "

" Since the group "Citizens for Responsible Government" want this referendum, I hope they will be responsible enough to pay for it as well. That way taxpayer monies go to more important things and not ADVISORY referendums. "
