DURHAM, N.C. -- Johnston Ambulance Service, the state's largest private ambulance service is closing at the end of Wednesday, putting around 400 full and part-time employees out of a job.

Major ambulance service shuts down without notice in six states
A private ambulance service that transported more than a half-million patients a year in six states abruptly shut down without explanation, leaving dozens of cities and towns scrambling for medical transportation options this week without a word of warning.

My next one is going to be, “If you can hear the shot, you aren’t the target.”
Locally a political hack got a contract with the VA to transport patients. He botched the business.
He then ran for state representative and won. He lasted one term.
This year he ran for State Senate and got blown away.
In don’t know anyone who ever made money with a VA contract.
