DYK that JCEMS is funded with a special tax in Jackson County call a levy?
That tax is paid with the promise that everyday there will be a fully staffed 911 service to come when you call for help.
Director Troy Bain has promised the Jackson County Commission and the citizens that he will provide a SHIFT SUPERVISOR who will respond to all emergency calls county wide.
The Emperor with no clothes Troy Bain has also promised that there will be 2 ambulances during the day in Ripley, 1 ambulance during the day in Kenna, and 1 in Ravenswood.
But if you look at the open records for ambulances since Troy has seized power and begun his toddlers tantrum of terror on the fine men and women of JCEMS you will see that there have been so many employees who have left and so few employees who Troy can trick in to working for him that many days there aren't enough people to come when you call 911.
Some times there will be 25% less ambulances available in Jackson County.
More often then not Troy will be stuck with only offering 60% of the available units to respond to 911 calls.
But what's worse is that in December, after another one of Troy's rampaging fits of fury and foolishness, his mismanagement got so out of control that he left the entire county with HALF of the 911 ambulances and ZERO shift supervisors.
And then at night, for MONTHS, he would leave the county with just HALF of the promised and PAID for 911 service and resources.
Citizens of Jackson County Troy Bain is not only ruining our career EMTs and paramedics he is also taking your hard earned money in his tax levy for EMS and then not providing you the number of ambulances and hours that he's promised you!
It's not because the county can't afford to run the EMS system but it is all because of Troys dictator approach to demeaning and threatening good employees each and every day.
Help SAVE JCEMS from Dictator Troy Bain and call the Commission and ask them to open an investigation in to morale and employee perceptions of Troy today.
