Sonco Ambulance Gets Help from Kivela, Casperson

Two local lawmakers spent the final day of the legislative session trying to make sure ambulance service in Ontonagon County continues and it worked. State Representative John Kivela and State Senator Tom Casperson sent an amendment to a bill to the governor’s desk that without it, Sonco Ambulance would have only been able to provide basic ambulance service, even when staffed by properly licensed EMT-Specialists and EMT-Paramedics. Kivela says it’s another example of how the UP legislative team continues to work in a bipartisan manner to help one another and residents across the Upper Peninsula.
