So I was just watching the local news and I see that the Kern County Board of Supervisors just agreed to raise ambulance fees 25% across the board without any comment. In a recession.
Kern County is the only county in California without paramedics. They rely on a private ambulance service, Hall Ambulance.
Hall Ambulance has a monopoly, in perpetuity contract with the county, which isn't open to discussion.
Hall Ambulance is owned by Harvey Hall.
The Mayor of Bakersfield.
I'm sure it's all above board. That's what they keep telling us.
