Committee on Ways and Means
Dear Chair Dela Cruz, Vice Chair Keith-Agaran, and Committee Members:
RE: SB 2618, SD1 Relating to Ambulances
SB 2618, SD1 would provide an ALS ambulance for the Makalei Fire Station,
which is several miles from the nearest existing ambulance and half an hour or more
from the nearest hospital.
I believe such an ambulance is warranted and hope you can find room in your
budget to act favorably on SB 2618, SD1.
Respectfully Submitted,
Harry K.
MAYOR
