| Ad at Comm. Ben Hasan's UPW |
AUGUSTA, GA (Anibal Ibarra) - The contract with Gold Cross will remain for now without modification. The Commission decided not to end it. Commissioner Ben Hasan - in an apparent conflict of interest - abstained of voting. His publication Urban Pro Weekly (UPW) keeps an account with the embattled EMS company.
The motion to terminate the contract agreement for 911 ambulance response and emergency medical services with Gold Cross EMS, Inc., is one of the items to be considered by the Richmond County Commission. Augusta Fire Department has being asking to have the contract with no luck. The privatization of the first response ambulance service has its critics.
