Community Ambulance Sets Up Charging, Power Posts for Residents

Power charging stations set up at several locations at various times.

Today and Friday the Community Ambulance Company will have a marked pick up truck parked with a generator and a power strip for anyone in the community that needs to charge phones, ipads or small medical equipment at no cost.  

According to a release issued this morning, the company staff reserve the right to turn away any device that is larger then the generators capacity or deny services. Depending on the usage the company will look to expand the days of this program.


"As a community organization we understand the importance of communicating with loved ones and we are here to assist in this time of need by providing a power charging station to those affected by hurricane Sandy," states the release.

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
