Free rides for sick and elderly in Perry County
The county commissioners have denied the $6000 they usually allocate to Sirs (Ride Solutions) for the wheel chair van that gives rides for the elderly or those (wheelchair bound), needing rides to various appointments.
As of 1/1/25, for example, they now have to charge $54 for a round trip ride from my friend’s father’s home on 11th street in TC to the clinic and back.

Why is this important?
This could hinder and inhibit the sick and elderly’s health, leading into a faster decline. A person could possibly not afford nor be able to find other transportation and be denied government assistant healthcare.
