Buy a little protection

Have you ever fallen in your home and been unable to get up? I have, five or six times. When it happens, you need three things: a phone within reach, a key hidden outside and a fire department crew to come to your rescue. If it wasn’t for them, I might not be alive to write this letter.

You may not think it would ever happen to you. But a heart attack, a stroke or a fall resulting in broken bones can happen to anyone, at any time.

That’s why I certainly will vote yes to retain the EMS levy. Think of it as not a tax, but an insurance policy against a time when you might be in dire need.
