Lafayette Considers 24/7 Ambulance Service Expansion with Tax Increase
Lafayette, New York, is contemplating a shift from part-time to 24/7 ambulance service, which would require a tax increase. Town officials argue that the current part-time model results in coverage gaps and longer response times. The proposed expansion aims to improve emergency response efficiency by adding more staff. This issue is set to be decided by a community referendum on the November ballot, allowing residents to vote on the tax hike necessary to fund the service expansion.
