kentucky ems is falling apart

you are poor? really? stop wasting money on uiseless stuff like
halloween candy and xmas trees and governors

no mention of first responders at local FDs - they never get mentioned

roads are more winding and hilly - but they have medevac helos
everywhere - and fairly good weather - so whats the problem?
