Looking at old Town Reports - Arlington Mass - Part 1 - The Paramedic Saga

1997 Annual Town Report - Arlington has been a member of the North
Suburban Paramedic Consortium for 10 years - (translation - the
Armstrong Ambulance Service (a private company) has been providing
paramedics to cover Arlington for 10 years now)

2000 Annual Town Report (ATR) - in light of declining Medicare
reimbursements to private ambulance companies, Arlington FD is
considering becoming the paramedic provider for Arlington

2001 ATR - a ALS study report will be available before the 2002 Town Meeting

2002 ATR - no mention of ALS

2003 ATR - no mention of ALS - Armstrong donates 7 AEDs to PD

2004 ATR - no mention of ALS

2005 ATR - ALS study will be done in 2006

2006 ATR - ? no mention of ALS

2007 ATR - will study ALS

2008 ATR - still exploring ALS

2009 ATR - still exploring ALS

2010 ATR - still exploring ALS

2011 ATR - still exploring ALS

2012 ATR - still exploring ALS

2013 ATR - ? still exploring ALS

I kid you not - approx 8 years in a row they have included the same
exact sentence in the Annual Town Report

I wonder if any of the ALS reports were ever really written?
