Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I would not disagree. However, unless we're careful, the Commission will be bigger than the Legislature.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 With the suggested list there is no guarantee that anyone primarily acting as a 1st responder will be included. That was all I was trying to point out. For an EMS Commission to effectively represent the EMS community in Texas we must include as many chairs at the table as necessary to provide an adequate cross section of those involved in the delivery of EMS. I’m just not sure how many chairs will be necessary. Tater P.S. I can see your “Mac” (I.e. Â) hanging out in this message. Wegandy1938@... wrote: Maybe.
