If you arc too ill or disabled to ride in a car, you can still get a ride in an ambulance in Polk County. But it took a com promise to make it so. You may recall that the county stopped allowing county ambulances to transport con valescent patients as of July 1. That meant that patients who did not face an emergency, but who could not travel by car, had no way to get to the hospital or the doctor's office.

On Monday, McCormack suggested that the "local bill" Blanton provided might be a better county ordinance until the General Assembly meets again next spring and can make it a state law for Polk County.
