A county is a tax collecting government entity, who collects TAXES to operate.   Any revenue it generates outside of taxes is a money maker for the county.

It is using public aircraft (aircraft funded by the tax payers) in a commercial operation (supplemented by the tax payers) now in direct competition against other Air Ambulance operators who do not have the luxury of a tax base!

UNFAIR COMPETITION!   And, MONOPOLISTIC practices!
