An bailout of that large a sum of money should not be awarded without a referendum at a November election not a date set in order to stack the numbers in favor of approval.

Will someone print the names of who is in charge/owns/CEO of this REMS....letter has addresses and no
names....I am always suspicious when I see this kind of request and not legitimately signed....

A lot of people want to know this.....that is a fact.......tied to who????   what kind of game is this....donations
for what.....what do all these people want????   take take take......

and

I will request Mohawk Amb if needed.......even if I have to pay out of pocket....you never know if it will
be a safe ride from REMS.....or......is it a matter of who knows who and you may be on some kind of DNS list....
scary

Remember folks, they don't need new ambulances - TWO were just given to them, brand new, stocked and warrantied.

What would they need donations for at this point? Salaries? Everything else is charged to insurances ...

I see that the  NNTP/nayboobs are busy spinning a bunch of lies --- REMS is in great shape .. this is just their annual fund drive.

Would mohawk be begging for donations? I don't think so!! All they would do is turn over $100K+ yearly!! Mohawk wouldn't have cost the taxpayers ONE RED CENT!! Unlike REMS!!

So they want me to donate my money AND pay for their service?  This sounds like a Proctors scam, paying for the building, giving tax exemptions, holding fund raisers, AND pay for the tickets to watch the show.

I thought REMS was going to start running like a legitimate business?  

Quoted from 1630

VIVA REMS AND LET US GET A TAXING DISTRICT TO SUPPORT HER! ON JANUARY 1, 2012 -- EVERYTHING CHANGES!

         Tony, get off your chair!

Anyone who wishes to make a VOLUNTARY contribution is asked to so --- and that kindness will be greatly appreciated.   As the grandson of a man who co-founded the volunteer ambulance service in his hometown, I am greatly aware of the sacrifices made by all those who help provide this important public service.   Be generous and give.

Be generous and give......e.g., Fundraiser at the Center......

So, we either know why Ron fully supports REMS and their siphoning off of tax money (a relative was the original founder), or he isn't truthful about "generations that have lived here," as the ambulance service he helped to co-found isn't around here.  Which is it, Ron?

Like most people I have TWO grandfathers --- one whose parents came to Rotterdam in the late 1890's   and another whose family lived in another town and where he cofounded the volunteer ambulance service.  

And I  FULLY SUPPORT REMS ... because it provides a necessary public service -- no other reason is necessary.

Are you f'en illiterate???? The letter clearly states that they are in "massive debt" and they are asking unsuspecting residents to
pay off a debt they did not create...blaming it on the previous Boards of Directors when they are doing the same thing.

The only difference between this regime and the previous Boards is that the current Board probably put stolen ALS funds into payroll
while campaining for a steady and undoubtedly increasing stream of unnecessary tax revenue... while previous administrators probably
put the stolen cash in their own pockets while the rest of the squads were still volunteers.

They all squeezed the Town for bailouts and other subsidies...and none have ever run the operation as a business...including the
current staff....which is why they will never be in "great shape" you hack.
