SOME HISTORY>>>>
*In 1993 this county department was effectively protected from any possible
competition or accountability by the Honorable County Commissioners Sansom(R), O'Dell(R),
Peebles(D), Harrison(R) and Ware(R). They passed (100%) a "certificate of need"
ordinance for OK Cnty. for ambulance service...meaning that before anyone could operate a
private ambulance service in Ok Cnty (as in Santa Rosa Cnty) they would need the approval
of OK EMS and the liberal republican County Commissioners. ($70K p/yr Hank couldn't stand
any competition). Rural Metro Corp. threw a fit at the meeting...was taken outside in
clear view through the window, by Hank....a 5 min. discussion took place...they came back
in and Hank(the empire builder) asked the liberal republican commissioners to
"Grandfather" Rural Metro in the ordinance. Rural has since been run out of the
county in the last year.
