City of Augusta’s contract with EMS provider Gold Cross still up in the air
“The workers can undergo and inform the general public and the Commissioners what’s within the contract, and if we have to tweak it from there we will make the mandatory changes. We, at the beginning, have to know what they’re taking ahead to Gold Cross,” Hasan says.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – State Senate Minority Leader Harold Jones II is holding a news conference to highlight what he sees as potential harm to Georgia families and workers caused by freezes and cuts to federal clean energy efficiency funding.
Programs like the Weatherization Assistance Program and Solar for All, which help lower utility bills and support job training, have been frozen or face cuts by the current administration, he says.
The Augusta Democrat says these cuts are putting home energy upgrades, savings and jobs on hold across the CSRA.
Jones and other speakers during the noon news conference Wednesday at the Augusta-Richmond County main library will call on Georgia’s congressional delegation to protect these investments and ensure residents are not left behind as energy costs continue to rise.
In addition to Jones, others appearing at the news conference will include Nicole Lee of Be Smart Home Solutions, Lisa Robinson of the CSRA Economic Opportunity Authority and Paige Brockmeyer, a registered nurse who’s also with the Augusta Chapter of the Citizens Climate Lobby.
