On Thursday, May 22, the town of Putney will be holding a Special Town Meeting to call a re-vote of its budget.
At the heart of this re-vote is the question of whether the town should continue to partner with Rescue Inc. for ambulance services.
Although this issue was discussed and voted on at the Annual Town Meeting in March, recommending the Selectboard reaffirm Putney's relationship with Rescue Inc., a recent petition circulated in the town and acquired 85 signatures asking for a reconsideration.
First, I would like to make it explicitly clear that I have no complaint against Golden Cross. I have no doubt that it is a professionally run organization efficiently providing ambulance service to towns in both New Hampshire and Vermont.
