LEONARDVILLE, Kan. (WIBW) - More than 30 community members provided testimony in support of building and staffing a full-time ambulance station in the northern portion of Riley County.
That was out of the 200 people attending a special Riley County commission meeting.
Community members met to discuss the need for ambulance service prior to the Thursday night meeting.
Residents expressed frustration that their tax dollars aren’t going toward their care. With many saying they have just taken their loved ones to the hospital instead of waiting for an ambulance.
No decisions were made Thursday night, commissioners will discuss the matter again at next week’s regular commission meeting.
