“The policy will also give us a level playing field so the hospital knows that you can’t just hold us hostage,”said Jay Tyler, director of the Guilderland Emergency Medical Services. “We’re not your staff. We have to get EMS crews back into the town and back into the cities to answer 911 calls.”

The update to the 2006 master plan was announced at the November meeting of the Altamont Board of Trustee.
