FORT PIERRE — Members of the public filled the Quinten Sutley Senior Center in Fort Pierre Thursday night to learn more and give their thought about the proposed Central South Dakota Ambulance District. It was a far cry from last week when just a few people attended a meeting in Pierre. Much of the opposition came from ag producers who feel they will be unfairly targeted by the district…
None of those who say they would be targeted had suggestions about what officials in Hughes and Stanley Counties should do differently to support an ambulance service. Gary Grittner, who spoke in opposition to the district at the first meeting continued that opposition saying officials aren’t being truthful with the public…
Pierre Mayor Steve Harding says officials are not trying to mislead the public…
Other questions asked during the hour-long meeting related to how district board members would be elected and what their roles on the board would be.
