On Monday, Aug. 30, a productive meeting was held to discuss improving the ambulance service in Milam County. As a result of our letter of Aug. 20 to AMR demanding better service, a meeting was held between the Milam County “coalition” members consisting of Mayor King, Mayor Harris, your County Judge and American Medical Response (AMR) employees Heath Wright, Byron Sedlacek and Heather Schmidt. The thrust of the meeting was immediate, better service by AMR.
Mural artist Sam Welty arrived last Friday and he’s already started his first mural downtown on the MDD building facing Wolf Park. That mural will be a tribute to El Camino Real de los Tejas.
