Maybe I am wrong here but I assume that they charge quite a bit for the use of the ambulance, but they are running in the "Red"? If these assumptions are all correct, (which they may not be...that is why I am asking) it seems to me like maybe there is a mismanagement of funds within the Benton County EMS?
