The Cheap Post 53 Supporters

Another type of Post 53 supporter is the one who simply does not want to spend money on Darien based paramedics. No matter how much sense it makes, some people don't want to spend the money so Darien can have the same standard of emergency medical care that almost every other town has. I have talked to people who have serious medical issues, many are elderly, and they are more fearful of the cost of Darien based paramedics than they are of their own vulnerabilities in a medical emergency. Many of these folks also do not understand the limitations of Post 53 EMTs. This penny wise and pound foolish approach is particularly striking given some of the items the town chooses to spend money on. I will let the reader fill in his or her favorite example of wasteful spending.

Stay tuned,
