The Henry County Democrats recently unanimously passed a resolution in support of the “EMS-VOTE YES” campaign currently underway in Henry County. Attendees fully supported the modest increase in property taxes to make sure Henry County residents continue to have quick access to critical care.
Should this issue not receive the necessary percentage for passage, the sustainability of the local ambulance service could be at risk. As the only ambulance service in Henry County, residents would have to rely on the availability of ambulances in neighboring counties- delaying immediate critical care. This could potentially add 30-45 minutes in response time.
Residents are urged to vote early at the Conference Room (southeast corner- 2nd floor of the Henry County Courthouse) in late August or at their precinct polling site on September 10.
