Essex County halfway to EMS district Home Rule law passed by Senate, waiting on Assembly By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | There is one vote left between Essex County and whether or not it will be able to create a county-wide emergency services district. While the state Senate has passed a bill allowing Essex County the exclusive right to create an EMS district through “home law” legislation, supervisors were left on Monday wondering if the assembly would show the same support. “All we know right now is that various people are working on it and trying to get it through the assembly,” said Wilmington Supervisor and Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston. “I strongly feel that when people dial 911, the get an ambulance.

PASSED BY SENATE

While State Assemblyman Dan Stec (left) waits on word if the Assembly will pass a bill granting Essex County Home Rule to create an county-wide EMS program, Sen. Betty Little (right) has already received approval from the Senate on a similar bill. File photo

TICONDEROGA | So much of early American history comes down to a shallow choke point in Lake Champlain where travelers with everything on their minds from commerce to mayhem found it possible to cross from one shore to the other, saving valuable time and energy. With this enduring crossing in mind, the Ticonderoga Historical Society will host a program on “Larrabee’s Point: Corridor of History” on Friday, June 22 at 7 p.m. at the Hancock House, 6 Moses Circle, Ticonderoga.

Little sponsored bill S-8180 at the request of the board of supervisors, which had approved a resolution with unanimous support last March requesting the “home rule” legislation.

Companion legislation has been sponsored by Assemblyman Dan Stec, but has not been moved at this time. “It is still in the Local Government Committee at the Assembly,” said Deb Capezzuti, a spokesman for the lawmaker. » EMS Cont. on pg. 8
