The ballot wording for the proposed paramedic program has been called into question. I agree that it seems politically motivated, but I strongly encourage all town residents to vote in favor of the measure. (I'm still on the fence regarding the budget measure.)
Having a paramedic program of our own can only profit the health and well-being of town residents. This is another one of those things that people just need to find a way to invest in. Our taxes may go up, but if what we receive is in some cases invaluable, how do we say "no"?
Instead of simply seeing our taxes as a number that comes out of our collective wallets, we need to begin thinking more long term. How might such a service save lives and money? How does it improve the perceived quality of the town and, hence, property values? What price can we put on peace of mind?
