Ambulance Controversy Brewing In Oglesby

There could be a packed house at Monday night’s Oglesby City Council Meeting.

A Facebook page called “Save Oglesby Ambulance” has been created leading up to a proposed wage ordinance vote by the city council.  According to the Facebook page, the council is thinking about cutting hours for EMT’s and paramedics to a point where they may have to look elsewhere for employment.  In turn, the post claims this could a delayed response to 911 calls.

Besides the ambulance ordinance, the Oglesby City Council Monday night will talk about the number of city liquor licenses available and give a financial report from this year’s Summer Fun Fest.

The meeting starts at 7 inside the Oglesby City Hall.
